Some interesting accidents in phase II. Looking forward to finishing up and moving on to phase III. I made some decisions with phase II that I'm not entirely content with. I will have a few samples of finished bisque at the end of this next phase. I did spend some time deciding that I would not do that and I had good reasons but it turns out I still want to see those finished products sitting side by side. I took a few chances in Phase II that turned out brilliantly - and I still love the side projects which continue to inform.
Here is what is not obvious about working in multiple passes:
- The first pass (phase) work keeps talking to you
- There are things in the first pass that actually worked better than things in the second pass (for example sizing (and what I first thought of as an unpleasant clay body actually turns out to be quiet nice.) Some of the sizing/proportional items worked better first time.
- Phase I + Phase II work generates a completely unique conversation.
