Update

I have my list of things to do, but not many of them have gotten done. I've been sketching things, however, and have been practicing making glass people. I've decided to make very thin glass people for the hunger scene, and I have a plan for the tsunami but I'm not sure if it will work. It involves stained glass (soldering, etc.). The machine is also under construction. It's going to have some sort of hopper or holding tank for fuel, and some sort of motor or drive device. Glass tubes, metal, and gears could make this be a pretty cool little sculpture. I'm still contemplating bases... I'm thinking that perhaps clay for all but the tsunami and the arguers. The arguers would be "too civilized" for earthy materials and the tsunami is in the ocean.

For ceramics class I also want to create some stuff using wooden frames, but I'll have to make those at home. the idea is to cut out a slab of clay and have a wooden form with an indent in the middle to create a plate. It would be like creating a piece of wood to fit the bottom of the plate, and then smooshing clay into it to make the plate. Maybe I'll get to that after I have the art piece done for the opening on the 16th or if I have some spare time.

Clock

I've decided to make the clock ceramic, so I made it today. It's a ceramic circle... woohoo. I may be able to figure out some way to mount an actual clock on the back and create glass hands, but we'll see how it goes...
