These are my most resent pieces that I've been working on and will continue to work with. I know the thought of putting faces and things on cups and vessels is contrite and cliche, but it's something that I've always wanted to do, so, now I'm doing it, and I really really like it. I don't know that any of these are especially strong, nor do they posses a direct theme or concept, but I did really enjoy making them, and the thought of making more, elaborating, and refining them invigorates me and motivates me to create, which is something I can honestly say has been lacking as of lately. 

This isn't to say that I'm going to just stick a face on everything, repeating the same thing over and over again. These are merely a start, and after not sculpting or working beyond the wheel in years, I'm really not to disappointed with them, which is all that really matters to me, growing my skill set and starting to follow something that interest me. I'm not giving up on my previous ideas of my former blog post, in which these actually stemmed from that project after I got to thinking about emotions and how I could bring life and emotion into the vessels in which I was making beyond their simple forms. As I said earlier, these are just a start, and I'm fully aware of the 'overdoneness' of the face mug, but hey, I've been really into the process, which has actually taken me beyond just creating in the moment and forced me to think beyond the initial creation process and instead pushed me to think about how the form of something would work with the later process of sculptural addition.
