january projects

I'm going to miss the deadline. I'm almost done with my second project for january, but I don't even have any kind of idea for what to do with the third one!! If anybody has any ideas or something idk haha help me out please :)))))
Anyway, this is the only project I have completed for the month of january! I made used that half circle blue plastic mold thing to make two almost semi circles. I made them out of coils and I smooshed them together to make that scale pattern thing. Then I beat those with a paddle and attached them together and I made a spout type thing for the neck and cut a hole in it! BAM!! successful udu drum that I'm not too embarrassed to say was constructed by myself.

So, I have been thinking a lot lately that my projects have been lacking a little in the quality department... But now that I have got the first three out of the way, I feel like I now have a pretty good grasp on what it is I will be doing to make my projects wayyyyyy higher quality. I'm going to start working more in parts, and doing things in a less basic way-- adding designs and textures and new parts onto the basic forms. Such as making two drums in one or more complex versions of the original drums.
