Mercury is still up in the air for I have mixed feelings about what to do for him.
Venus is not yet even outlined in sharpie for I feel she is still missing something and I don't know what.
Earth was revamped and without anyone's saying I fully carved her out, add just a few small things and she will be ready for printing.
Mars has been done, has been run through the press for a blind embossing and will be printed next.
Jupiter has come a long way, but his planet is just too...flat (as how Professor Hill said). Something must be done to give it a little bit more of a complex...something to make it jump out more, but I fear I may be too late.
Saturn has been designed, outlined and now has begun to be carved. His rings will be thickened slightly for a more fuller feel but other than that.
Uranus is the most recent design but I am holding off on carving him cause I'm not sure if he's too close to the cover pose, if so I will backtrack and tried to think of something else, but I do like him.
Neptune is in limbo like Venus. I kind of like it, but I don't think it's strong enough to be outlined, plus I'm struggling with the horse's ears.
Pluto was the first to be designed only for his original to be scrapped. He has the planet and two smaller sections to be carved out before he is ready to be printed.
Sol and Luna will come next. After doing all of these I thought it would only be right to have Sol and Luna apart of the bunch considering they are the two key planets on the cover. And if no one as already guessed, this batch of animals will become a book. Otterbein's copy center has the ability to bind books, but I'm beginning to wonder on possibly taking this further and binding it myself, but adding a few things in between. But I want to discuss this with Professor Hill before I go too far and possibly burn out the flame that is, as of the moment, flickering with the wind as I try to relax from the overwhelming emotional spill I had yesterday. That took a lot out of me that I feel asleep at eight last night and woke up to my noon alarm. Lack of sleep to me with an emotional spill can cause a lot of exhaustion on the mind of a senior.
My ceramics project had to be scrapped and then revamped with the possibly fear of maybe having to scrap the revamp due to my hasty ways of wanting things to move in my way. I think I have decided to take 20-minute intervals of building and five minutes of just wondering to calm my mind down. But one thing as been successfully built.
The mouse of the piece
And what better way to let the air out but by the butthole? Lols, yes, it's actual hole to let the air out when it's being fired is actually the butt hole. I didn't want it to be the eyes or the nose and I thought it would be more discreet once it's been placed on the final piece. But who knows exactly if the main piece of this project will actually be what I want it to be. I'm building way too fast for it to compensate for what I want it to do and clay is quite fragile if you try to bend it too quickly. I think coil building it would be better, but thus, this os a slab creation (so I might add another mouse and then just coil the main form cause I'm getting slightly irritated with have to slab this massive piece into the form I want it to become).
