Memories through Melodies

Our next assignment is a bit more manageable and controllable than the rigid metalwork we just finished.  It's clay!  We are making a table setting for someone who is of importance to us.  I chose the singer, Kimbra.  She isn't afraid to put her whole self into her music, and for that, I commend her.  I decided to utilize a song's character in each of my pieces. This is "Good Intent".  There will be more on the other pieces later!

Crab Thingy?


So my metal is finally finished, and has a lot of.... character?  It's unique!  I think when choosing a design, I took a different approach than others.  My piece stood out immediately among the others that were hung around it, but in a neutral way.  It was less symbolic and more cartoon-ish and literal.  I believe it resembles a crab in a way (which was what I was really going for).  I enjoyed looking at everyone's hard work, especially since creating a work of art out of metal is quite a feat, regardless of size!
