Draw something every day

This year I am waking up my drawing muscles. Pen and ink has always been a favorite medium but I've not done any drawing to speak of in, let's say, 30 years? I've got a little notebook of decent paper and some good pens. If I miss a day, I make it up. Everything is dated. I have been keeping the sketches to 1.5" square. We'll see.

They wanted to be bud... vases.

 

I was playing with bell shapes on the wheel and happened to find these guys hiding within the form. I've made them into bud vases.

Whiskey cups

I'm a whiskey drinker and I wanted to make some small cups to share. Now that they are done, I think they should be a little larger. What say you?

Mugs again

I handbuilt a few mugs yesterday, using the extruder and some stamps. The extruded shape was sort of wonky and narrow so I spun it around a rolling pin for a little bit before adding a bottom and handle. They are still wonky. Should be interesting. 30 Clay

And now for something completely different... Wool bowls

I like to make bowls. The bowl form was the first success I had when I took up pottery, and it makes me happy to think about people using the bowls I have made.

I wanted to try knitting a few wool bowls and for these, I used Noro Rainbow Rolls. The rainbow rolls are not spun yarn, so they are very tender, and pull apart easily. They felt up great! The colors repeat in such a way that you can have an inside outside effect if you knit long enough.

I think these make interesting little containers.

So cozy!
