art fart

soi had my first day back at school today. i'm taking an intermediate book arts class monday and wednesday mornings. its going to be a lot of work, but i'm determined to stick it out even though i'm more at a beginning bookmaking level than an intermediate one.

last time i posted, i said i was going to post about the pots that i made in arizona, so here they are:
.
i made a really big coffee cup, a flower pot, and a little plate. its hard to get the clay to do what i want it to do when i'm a little rusty, but i'm happy i was able to make these few things. jake and i also did some hand-building. he made a little plate and i made an 'avocado'. (it doesn't really look like an avocado but that's what i was calling it while i was making it, and i don't know what else to call it) i forgot to take pictures of those though. sad. pictures really would help make me not sound like a crazy person who made a clay avocado. hey, wait. i'm not going to explain my art to you. never mind.

i'm really really tired today for some reason. i think its because i biked more today than i have in a few weeks, maybe i'm out of shape. i was going to do this thing where i did push ups every other day until i could do a hundred or something, but i only did them once. anyway, i'm rambling now, so i'm going to stop and go to sleep. here are some screen shots i took while looking at other blogs and the internet and stuff: (no references, sorry)
