In the pottery studio, there used to be a postcard with a photo of this really cool freaky hare sculpture.  Naturally, when I went looking for it to use as a reference, it had mysteriously vanished.  I did this anyway, and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. I wanted that weird blobby texture (and I think I got it) and I wanted it to look a little like the rabbit would happily devour your brains if it could. As a bonus, it even stands up, and it didn’t crack. I call this a win.

I didn’t feel much like throwing this class session, so I decided to try some alternative pottery ideas. This is one of them. My friend had some plastic embossing strips for ceramic artists, and she used them to make a cool mug. I made this mug, which didn’t turn out quite as cool because there was some separation at the bottom and now it won’t hold water.  So now it’s a pen holder.

One of the nice things about this project is that it rewards hoarders. I kept the little fimo orange slices from a (still unfinished) project I was working on last year.

Every time I make these magnets, I make them in a batch of 28, because that’s how much resin my measuring cups will hold.  It took a lot of sticky trial and error to get that down.

The one with the zipper is everyone’s favorite.  It swings freely.

I used to use scraps from my little books for the background paper in these, but the scrapbook papers commonly available are just as nice. You can’t see them perfectly well anyway.

The one at the top with the orange flowers is one of my favorites.
