Today I made my fish obsession official. It started out innocently with those cute sardine prints. Then today when we were hand building some clay pieces in class, I debated carving a fish on my platter. When someone else mentioned my sardines, I changed my mind to avoid becoming... too fishy. But when I added a hole in one of my decorative ends and the whole platter became a fish, I was suddenly teetering on the edge. The salmon I barbecued for supper tonight sealed the deal.
Look at that little guy with his sweet smile. It was meant to be. I made this platter and a couple of pinch pots. I wasn't super happy with how my pieces turned out today, but I'm waiting to make my final judgement until after the glaze has been fired on. I also need to remind myself that this is my first time working with clay and that even seasoned vets don't always make winners.
We have just two classes left and then I'm off for the summer to create some projects on my own. I'm hoping to make a few things worthy of selling in the Gallery soon!
