This is just an update on my Family of Boxes project. Can anyone guess who these boxes are representing? Answer- My mom, and my brother. 2 more are coming: one for me and one for my dad. and if i can, im gonna try to do some more. but they might not be before the 29th. ANYWAYS.... The bow on my mom's pot is bugging me a little bit because it is not perfect and it is supposed to be representing her desire to be/look perfect (going with her personality)... so im not sure what to do. I am gonna clean it up a little bt once its a little bit drier, but if for some reason it doesnt look like i want it to, does anyone have any suggestions for alternatives to the bow? (I've never done anything like that before so i wasnt really sure how to go about it, but i just used a coil.) and in case someone was wondering whats up with the lid of my mom's pot, i actually messed it up. I attached a slab to a thrown pot and then i started to cut off the top with a cheese slicer but didnt realize how wet the clay was in the inside still and i ended up doing it way too fast and messed up. but then i realized... my mom is NOT perfect. in fact she's a little nuts. she just likes to pretend shes perfect. so i went ahead and worked with my mistake to show that. and then tied it together with a little bow. well anyways, here are my first 2 boxes, basically done. and ps- the whole sarah davis bottom thing has officially stuck with me. i hate trimming and i think this looks better anyways.
what if you took off the bow altogether? Then after it is fired, you can add a real bow, made of satin, in the color of your choice. That might look more feminine
