The crit went very well for me on Wednesday. I got alot of great ideas from people and I really feel like I'm on track now. I am going to continue to make the hearts, but I am going to take the advice given to me and create hearts that are certainly not "okay". I did one today and I LOVE it. I was very surprised how fast I made it too, it makes me feel confident that I could make an entire set of them very easily. The process I went through really went exactly how I wanted it to and the result was gratifying. I have a few discrepancies about how I want them to be displayed. It would be nice to have them on the wall, so I drove two holes into the back of the piece for screw heads to go through. The pieces aren't very heavy, so I'm thinking this will work, but I want to be sure, I guess if anyone has suggestions lemme know :) Im still working on the lock and key piece. I think I am going to make my own chain out of different fabrics and hang the locks from them. Doing this will allow for the chain to be lighter, easier to hang and much more interesting. Each fabric would represent a time in my life and the lock/locks will be hung from it. Each fabric chain will connect with the next and will be continuous, some chains will be longer and others will be shorter to give the look of an actual time line.
I got my glazes in today... totally weren't the colors I wanted. -sigh-.. they're velvet underglazes, so maybe I can try and mix them to make them darker, but yah, that kinda sucks. Ill never trust internet color swatches again damnit. Hopefully they'll darken up after being fired, but I dunno. Im going to order the lusters for the locks asap. Im thinking gold and silver. meh?
I went and looked at the 5 in 1 gallery last night and the place is huge. He priced us at $300 for a whole week. So if we all chipped in $30 bucks we could get the space. But, I've already written a proposal to ask the school to either sponsor the event or match us what we can raise. I turned in the letters to Paul in S.S., Kim Williams, and Syphne S. Hopefully our words will be heard and we'll get what we're asking for. We will still have to supply materials if anyone needed walls built and Michael Andrews (owner of the gallery) said he would built them for us if we bought the materials. I am going to talk to my father about printing flyers for us (nice ones!) that we can pass around the school and other places. No matter what, we should have a meeting very very soon to make sure everyone is on board with doing this and to get any answers or concerns addressed. Wednesday during lunch??
Guess thats all.. nightynight!
