So I'm back from Mo'orea/Australia/applying to graduate schools and back in the ceramics studio! I've gotten tired of having such thick mugs and I figure I'll never learn how to throw dainty little things and then carve the heck out of it, so I've decided to try my hand at mold making. I'll be making the mold for this fellow probably on Friday, but here's the WIP of the master in progress. He's a pretty stout cube and even taking account of shrinkage, he'll still be pretty large. Front. His name is Cheeky Monkey. He also sort of reminds me of the monkey heads in Temple of Doom. Look! A tail! woo! So yeah, few more hours of work on this guy, and then mold making on Friday. Fun times.
