Like a lot of my students, I used to hate glazing. Glazing was just this tiresome, messy thing you had to do so that the things you had fun ...
Hannah Jensen paints 40 to 80 layers of acrylic paint onto board and then starts carving (and carving).
Hand carved Pismo Beach Print using rubber stamp. Each print is made by hand with black ink on white paper and cut to 5x7 inches. The stamp itself measures 4x6 inches. Each handmade print is unique and there are natural variations in how the ink looks on each piece. Inspired by the dunes of California this piece uses sharp contrast to lay out a sunrise scene on a solitary dune.
I was ready for work yesterday after the break on Wednesday. I had a bunch of pasta bowls and one large bowl that were slipped and ready to carve. It was about 50 degrees outside, therefore easy to keep the studio at a good working temperature. I enjoy carving designs through slip but it can get tedious when you have a dozen bowls and as many tumblers to carve. I broke the work up by finishing the tumblers on Tuesday before our day off. Yesterday I worked on the bowls for about 7 hours straight, until 8:00 pm. I think I have three left to finish today. When I went to bed last night, I spent the first few hours dreaming those monotonous, repetitive, go nowhere dreams, about carving bowls. Those darn bowls wouldn't leave my head!!! When they finally left I had a strange dream that involved working for a corrupt circus... something about you weren't aloud to perform unless you had an X tattooed on your back... and one of the female trapeze artists performed without the X and she was now in grave danger... I woke up before anything bad happened. I think I will finish those last few bowls EARLY today and get them out of my head before bedtime.
