sketches and epiphanies!


when i was working on one of my projects today i just started to think about something. Sketching is cool sometimes to organize your thoughts and to plan out the steps of a certain project. for instance, one of my projects for this month is a bathroom set (toothbrush holder, soap dish, and tissue box cover,) and i decided to sketch out a few different designs to put on them, along with steps of what i would do each day, so i could estimate how long it would take me. Well my other project is a set of vases. i had a couple sketches but this is the part where i think sketching can be thrown out the window. its a great feeling when something you envision comes to life, literally, through a sketch, but i think its an even more awesome feeling when youre working on your project and you get a sudden epiphany, a sudden cool idea that pops into your head. which is exactly what happened to me! i was just working on my vases when i got a little frustrated that i couldnt keep them centered. but then when i was finished i looked at it and thought the way that it was off-center looked kinda cool, kind of unconventional and a little modern and spunky? if you may. so i dramatized that by paddling one side of each of my pots to make them all off center in the same corresponding way. the flat side from the paddle is gonna have a flower design on it. anyways, that was my epiphany, that was my project, and these are my thoughts of the day.
