Second sneaker

I love how this one turned out. I feel that I got the shape right even though the color is still a little dark.

So this isn't quite where I wanted to go with the sneaker. But it's starting to grow on me. We fired it way too fast and all of the red burned out. Plus the cinnamon underglaze does not look the same after it has been fired. I'm making more of these. I like the way The relic wash looks on great white clay.

The first shoe

I find a lot of inspiration from converse, both in art and writing. I've been known to paint them, to write about them, to wear them, and to admire them in public places. Why? Why do we like anything? We just connect with it somehow on a deeper-than-average basis.

This is intended to be semi-functional. I really hope someone will plant flowers in it someday. And in case you were wondering, it's a size 8.5.
