Yeah, so
then I go into production mode. I get the bright idea to make
3 sets of 3 hanging planters. Really, it's meant to be two sets,
but a third one for good measure. I picture hanging these with
the largest at top, then medium, then small. First I thought
herbs, later succulents.
I got very tired of making these. When they sat there without
the hanging tabs, it looked like a had some hangup for never
having been breast fed. They looked very mammary all over the
table. Doing those tabs 27 times was boring. As a kid, I did
very repetitive art projects, like drawing with stippling or
other patterns. I don't have the patience anymore.
All that being said, I am very happy with how these turned out.
I went for a very simple glaze approach. Mostly, this is because
when I went into the glaze room, it was overrun by teenagers
in a after school program. They were bad kids, but they've like
15 who had to say every single thing in there head and seemingly
very little sense of the space they took up. Have I mentioned
lately that I was bored 40 years old?
I dipped all of these once and then again to a lower level.
They look wonderfully organic.
