Who did it?

Posted by Rabbit (Richmond, United States) on 31 July 2008 in Art & Design.

Yes who? Who ate all the GLAZE?

I thought it was funny that this batch of pinhole cameras all looked as if they had their mouths open in that *shocked looked* The part that looks like their mouth opening is where the shutter cap will go. The pinkish cat one on the right has a shutter cap that looks like a name tag for a pet. The middle one actually has an open mouth and the one on the other end. The green and white one has a green button-like design to match the button-like design it already has on it.


I received a sweet and inspiring comment as I was working hard on my cameras from a lady who was passing by to go into the other clay studio. She stops by and asked what I am making "what kind of characters are these and do they open or serve some other function?"

I excitedly reply "yes, they do open and they will be pinhole cameras." (to my surprize she knew exactly what a pinhole camera was)
Are you more a ceramics artist or photographer? or Both?
I told her I do most of my studies in ceramics, and prefer the more simple side of photography.

So then she asked if I was a teacher? - - - - *blush* no, however, I am working on trying to get into Grad school. She looks at the pieces and says "well then don't worry you will surely get in with those."

Awwwwwwwww - just what I needed to hear. Really. Its been so difficult trying to find my path in art. I have always needed to make things to feel happy. Lately as I have made these interesting character cameras, it has given me new light *ha thats good pun being that i'm describing cameras* A hope of some kind. Even if I don't get into Grad school with these cameras, I still feel more complete than I have in a long time.


Finding my own style,
