flower badge, version two

It took a while to make these badge holders since I had to save the medicine caps. I also was picky in what type of color I would save and I also had to get some badge holders to glue the flowers too. Woo hoo, I was able to make 4 flower badges this time around. Two are gifts and the other two are mine. I've had issues on one of the badges where the flower came off. The ones I gave away reported no problems, so it must be me. I do tend to be a little rough with my belongings.

ceramics

Summer has ended, and so has my ceramics class. I was taking ceramics for about 2 months during the summer because it's something I have always wanted to do. I never got around to it because life gets hectic and it seems I was busy doing mundane things, well I did get scuba certified, so not sooo mundane. This summer, I made it a thing to do, which is to go to my ceramic classes every Tuesday night at my local art center. The pics above are some bowls on the wheel, pinch pots and finished products. Click here for my flickr album to see some bowls and my lack of progression in my ceramics class. Making a bowl is one of the most frustrating and difficult things to do. I'm pretty creative and intuitive with drawing and designing, but sculpting a perfect bowl was utterly tasking. I'm so proud to make so many imperfect ones to achieve at least some decent looking bowls. I still have 6 finished bowls being cooked as we speak. I will post then up when they are in my hands.
