unfortunately, I feel like this poor child of asian decent. I've hit a wall. The wall of all walls, and I can't break through. Seriously I just don't know what to make anymore and it's so bad that it's to the point that idk if i even really want to make stuff anymore. I need some inspiration and some ideas. Maybe I'll come up with something eventually... but some help would be nice, supportive, caring AP art family! anyways that's it.

Oh hot dayumm who knew that coil girl could throw.. I didn't... that's fo sho. haha but thanks to some help from my buddy, my pal quinny, I managed to throw this actually half decent chip and dip bowl for my breadth section. By no means is it perf, but I'll take it. And I'm not going to spend class after class trying to throw a better one b/c 1 I don't have the clay and 2 I'll get REALLY frustrated. so yeah, this is it.

I finished another drum! Finally. It's just a simple, plain one. I was really just trying to perfect the form and make a smooth surface. I feel that I accomplished that so, yeah. Here's the picture of it, and sorry it's fuzzzzzy wuzzy...

I guess that now that I look at it a little more, I need to perfect the circle...

With forecasting taking place last week, my life became a little easier. I decided to take ap again next year so yaya to any other junior who made the same choice!! :)
That's where I'm at right now, and other than that, more of the same haha.
And so, since i need a picture i found one of this chill frog cause this is how I'm feeling about clay right now. I'm pretty chill with it.

So, I've really kind of been struggling to get anything done, and I feel like I've just hit a wall. I hit a super thick, super strong wall, like a wall that would be sufficient to be the door to a vault at the richest bank in the world. I feel like I would have a much easier time if I could make a mold that was a circle. I'm not sure what to do, and that's where my thinking's at right about now.
I found a happy picture of a bouncy ball because it's a perf sphere which is what I need and it's happy. so, yay.

I finished another one. it's pretty much the same as the last but a little different. The neck is shaped a little differently (and attatched in a really crappy way). But it's also a slightly different shape. So yeah, that's about it. and the hole is not so round because I forgot to cut it out until it was bone dry!
But, basically, I've been feeling really uninspired lately, so if anyone has any SERIOUS suggestions about what the heck i should do for the next seven projects please tell me :) and trent, I'm not making a turtle.

THE PLAYING OF THE DRUM :) for those of you who were just dying to know!! btw it's played by the sexiest man alive, so brace yourself.

In addition, this is the style I've mainly been trying to build lately. More traditionally, they are more round with a neck that blends in well with the rest of the body. Amy doesn't have a good mold for that shape, however, so I've been using the big blue one to make drums more like this one.
