I kept forgetting to post the pics before, (plus the posts themselves were just getting too long anyways,) so I shall put them now!
Doesn't this picture just look so dramatic? *laughs* Of course, I failed with the glaze for the poor Al mug, as I expected. At least the handle came out okay. The glaze was thick enough, and it kind of had an ombre effect: the top was green, then it slowly turned into brown. If you look closely at the braid, you should see it.
The cat mug, though, was just fine! Most of it is red, but near the bottom of the picture, by the little heart, you can see that it turned green there. I'm very pleased with the result of the kitties! I gave the Alphonse mug to my friend, who seemed to like it more than I did.
Also, during my last class of Ceramics, I just did random stuff. I didn't exactly have anything I needed to work on, but still had to be doing SOMETHING. I decided to just practice carving designs and things, and just attempting things I'd wanted to do before, but couldn't because I had a real project to work on. The teacher kept us a little TOO busy, in my opinion...
I'd always wanted to see what it would look like if I carved an eye into clay! And it looks kinda cool, in my opinion. Especially because the camera on my phone was definitely working in my favor, like it did in the picture of the mugs. Maybe sometime in the future, I'll make a sculpture of an anime character or something, and will get to use eyes like this one on it.
Has everyone done something for their mothers today? Or yesterday? *glares accusingly through the screen*
My new art teacher had given us an assignment to give to our mothers during the weekend. It was actually a cool idea, and my mom greatly appreciated it (and I felt it was much more heartfelt than if I had just gotten her a card with a poem, because I wrote down my own words of what I wanted to tell her), but it was a little too rushed, in my opinion. Well, it was just mainly rushed because the teacher herself had a lot of things going on at the same time that week, so she couldn't get everything done as early as she wanted. I still got it to my mom, and we both like it, so it's all that matters.
I finally get to see my big brother's face! He, along with all the other missionaries of the world, get to Skype their family for usually around 45 minutes today. Since we aren't actually his family yet, we won't get much time with him, maybe even just 10 minutes, but I'm still pleased we'll at least get THAT much. I can't wait for those precious 10 minutes! (Be thankful for everything!)
