In need of a bottom

Posted by Rabbit (Richmond, United States) on 22 April 2008 in Art & Design.

Yesterday it rained - then it was sunny for a bout 30mins then it poured then stopped then started raining again. It was nice to hear the rain, i was glad not to drive many places in it. Sometimes i don't mind driving in the rain. However my experience with Richmond City drivers has been - its much better to stay home.


Today i woke up also to the sound of the rain. Makes me want to work on an art piece i've had in mind for many years now. However i have no place to display such a work - so it will just have to stay in my memory until such opportunity arises.


The image you see here is what i call a spring box. The reason I call these pieces spring boxes is because the top you see was cut off of the wheel with a spring and it makes a really cool design. Here it is sitting on some clay that I rolled out so that i can attach a bottom to this. Then it gets cut in half and taa-daa you have a box.
