My favorite quote!

Butterflies can't see their wings. They can't see how truly beautiful they are, but everyone else can.
...People are like that as well.

Composition book pages

This one is supposed to be like cat eyes. 

The one on the right is supposed to be a galaxy. The one on the left is just random stuff. 

The one on the left just has white tissue paper and white feathers over black paint. On the right is supposed to be a tunnel-type thing. 

These are just random things. I think the right one kind of looks ocean-y. 

Again, just random. 

Testing

Here's a picture of my ferrets for you lovely people. 

Sculpture Portfolio!

My clay box has been fired and I am in the process of painting it right now. I really like how it turned out and am very excited to see how it looks after being glazed and fired again. I think this project was really fun. Definitely messier than I am okay with, but again, very worth it!

This is my cardboard project. I don't have a more recent picture, but as soon as I get one I will add it on. I put foil on the inside as well, because I was thinking of filling it with rice or something so that my ferrets can dig around in it... and they LOVE shiny things!

My clay box has been fired!

I really like how it turned out. Now I just need to paint it. (:

I finally figured out what was wrong with my computer so here is my progress on my cardboard sculpture.

I made 16 of these and attached them on the corners of the sides.

These pieces are for the top and bottom of my cube.

I painted the main part black and the corners white with purple diamonds. I made the swirls with hot glue so that my box wouldn't be really boring.  I also started putting all the pieces together to make my cube today.

Final box..

I carved a little swirly design into the top corners of the sides with the tunnels.

Pretty much done I think. Carved ferrets into two opposite sides of my box.

I think everyone should watch this...

Put the other side of the tunnel on

I've attached the other tunnel piece to the opposite side of the box. I also started putting my lid together, but I forgot to take a picture of that.

Pieces for box

These are my pieces. The curves ones are for the tunnel. And I had to roll another slab to cutout the piece for my lid.

Clay slabs

I rolled out two slabs yesterday, but here is a picture of one of them.
