I Just Wanna Take A Nap...

Last week I was able to draw the neurons on my mug with slip... thank the Lord. I was not sure I was going to be able to do it, but the night before the mugs were due I found four little needle bottles at Michaels and they worked quite well! Overall, I am quite pleased with how the neurons look, however, I do wish they were a bit bigger and looked more identical. I am NOT a fan of drawing, stick figures are my go-to) so drawing objects on the mugs was a bit of a challenge for me, but it definitely could have been a lot worse.

I spent I believe around ten hours at the studio the night before the assignment was due and I was debating on sleeping on the studio floor. It was either going to the floor or the wedging table I couldn't decide, however, I did end up going home and getting three hours of sleep... a win is a win. I was considering drawing another figure in between the neurons with the slip, however, unfortunately, the clay dried out. I took wet rags and put them on the clay along with wrapping it very well overnight, but it was just too far gone. Not quite sure what the plan is for the gap on the mugs, but I just want to take a nap right now so I'll figure that out another day.

This week I am going to start working on my objects for the soda firing. I am between making textured bowls or remaking the textured cylinders I made last semester. I think I will try making both at first and see which one I feel more confident in, or I guess ultimately I could just make both and have extra to put in the kiln.
