Tonight, I Had Dinner With My Friend Rhonda And Her Housemates Eric And Adam. We Made (ok, Rhonda Made)
Tonight, I had dinner with my friend Rhonda and her housemates Eric and Adam. We made (ok, Rhonda made) homemade squash ravioli, and as I was rolling out the dough in the pasta press, all I could think of was clay. I now officially have a problem.
Anyway, Adam requested "a slug rodeo," so here it is. While trying to set up the shot, I had one of those moments where I could see myself from outside my body: all alone, at 12:30 at night, lassoing a fake snail with some clay rope and sewing thread. Sigh.
Also: It is really hard to set up an action shot with slugs.
By the way, if you'd like to request something, too, there's a page for that right here: http://cariturley.tumblr.com/ask

vacation!
I went to London and New York to see some of my favorite people, but the figures will resume August 27!
Unless I'm jetlagged. August 28 for sure!
Since I'm getting ready to leave for a big trip on Monday, this little guy from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy seemed appropriate. This is Marvin from the most recent film adaptation. Trivia about Marvin: he's the inspiration for the name of a Radiohead song and he would never forget to bring a towel.
Actually, because of the aforementioned trip, he's probably the last figure you'll see from me for about three weeks. As soon as I get back, rest assured that they will continue! Don't panic.

I'm back from vacation! I had a really great three weeks visiting friends in London, New Jersey, Philadelphia, and NYC, and now I'm glad to be back home in my comfortably dim apartment. Hooray!
Today was my "last" day of class (I have to go back at least twice more to pick up two glazed pieces and one more that hasn't been fired yet), so that meant I had a bounty of finished pieces to take home. Above, check out my finished two-prong vase (I heard they used it in the art show while I was away) and a couple of crappy bowls and trays. If anyone wants anything, by the way, I'd be happy to share.
Below, a new mug (it'll be vivid orange after it's fired) and a small pot for my mom's Egyptian room. (Don't look if you want to be surprised, Mom!)
Laguna, 2 hour class
Rhonda tells me "sloths are the new birds" (in reference to the hip animal du jour), so she requested that I make her a sloth. She did not specify that it be anorexic, nor that it only have fur on the right side of its body. I took those artistic liberties myself.
