i found a box of ceramic pins i made

I made these to let loose and create
i love that about clay, for me i feel free to be impulsive and experimental with forms and objects (to let loose from clean lines and all the roughs that goes into illustration work)

i played a game with myself making these pins, i think i just wanted to test my memory with visualizing images

i would roll out the slab of clay and cut shapes of figures, objects and animals that i pictured in my head~ smooth the shapes and fire them in the kiln when they’re ready. then when they come out all i would see is these blank shapes. painting the actual image felt like improvising what i had set out to create. it kind of felt like making out something from looking at clouds and painting what i think it looks like -

i’ll be putting some up in the shop a little bit at a time~~ i have so many little things from craft show days that i might include as well, a low key no key studio sale not really ♥︎
