ceramics and a favor

I finally got round to taking pictures of my piece for ceramics, the project brief was on animals and the animal i had to base mine on was the hammerhead shark. This happens to be the most uninteresting being on the planet, (ken doherty being a close second). so i kind of slid away from that and on to sharks as a whole as the entity of sharks is far more interesting than just the hammerhead shark. During this i learned that shark skin is actually made up of millions of tiny teeth meaning shark skin feels more like sand paper than silk. for this reason i made my piece very angular and slab built it in clay, coloured it black and (what i wanted to be white) cream to hopefully keep it looking raaadddd. i hoped it would be a flower pot, but due to unforseen circumstances is not infact water tight.

i also got a print of a photo i took on canvas for my sister to give to her boyfriend for her birthday, the printer fucked it up so i couldn't get it on a stretcher and instead had to mount it on a board, either way, pretty please with how it turned out and made a solid £20 profit from it!
