Projection was the illusion. For the balance of power over intuition. Caused problems over emotions to manipulate the truth. The veil is seen.

When you go from two different objectives. Get a different result entirely but it all made sense anyway…
Last few weeks been in the hot shop. First try now I get the results. From a base to a bowl. Trying to work with colour for the next project to create a prototype. It changes very quickly when you hold the shape and the wet paper then the jacks to shape the rounded edges
This was one of my favourite pics I took when the river bank had burst after a storm flooded the cafe you couldn’t reach to it on the other side. The swans were still gliding adapting to the situation. But the way the light reflected onto the tree was a unique effect of the early evening after a storm. Now we are in another storm and it just reminded me of this moment when I went to scroll through old albums looking for something else.
Not really feeling like posting back with another headache after a cold that moved its way up over summer so my energy been a bit drained today. But I hear ETH is at $4000 it’s moving fast isn’t it… shows when BTC wants to move it will move.
Made a sandcasting pewter ring this morning… and a gingerbread man… but this was a great fit and filed down 💖
Patternation not sure if it is a word but it sounds good. Trying to link the G to form a chain in the base of the sample interesting the shapes make when letter joins together…
I ask my teacher to take these pics from today making a coloured bowl with gaffa glass. Here’s me picking up the colour. You have to cut it first and then leave it in the kiln for a while. It’s kind of weird using the weather to warm up glass from getting cold and play around with it but it’s still very early getting to know. It takes a long time to learn your craft.
Unyielding is the word. Mother Nature is perhaps the best example of unyielding for the way it keeps evolving. Glass though is hard to recycle. Yet its effervescence shapes our future by being more present in the day to day miraculous tales. Colour is perhaps the instrument of that. Play, perhaps the experimental sounds of its composer comes from anything and everything. To bring about a symphony of nothing.
Sunrise from the other day…
Self purtraits… the new set of smilies
Did some weaving today. Turns out, the system is based on binary code. Translated black and white means do something and the means don’t do something. As explained… my bit starts where the plank of wood is put through. So miss the blue and you’ll see where. It’s on Shetland wool.
Suspension …
Light moves around and has no meaning but is every meaning all weathers
Trying hot glass today in the workshops. An amazing tutor who’s really been helping me on the course. I love it when tutors are happy to help really guide you. I’ve never usually had that in the past. Going back to university as a mature student is daunting but coming back after dropping out is even more so. However I had a lot of fun genuinely today and the results will be in another post once out the oven! Hot tip! Hot glass is same temperature as molten lava! 🔥
New module started today. Exploring negative space. Just at the ideation stage for now.
A lovely moon picture from Bluesky post today. Thought to repost here
When you see things in your work others couldn’t understand. Starts to become something else that continues your own story in life.
