The Big La Bowl Ski (4)

I like the thickness of the foot on this piece. Especially with this short bowl, it makes the bowl look sturdy.

On the other hand, I love how small this foot is. It's big enough that it supports the bowl well, but small enough that it doesn't take away from the bowl's shape and style.

This is the type of foot I would like to put on the majority of my bowls.

I like the thickness of this foot too, and how the edges don't directly touch the table's surface.

The Big La Bowl Ski

The footing on all of these bowls definitely give more lift to each piece making it more appealing to look at. The stacked bowls are very interesting, each one is very different yet they fit together visually very well and I like the stamped patterns on them. The Chinese tea bowls are both very cool looking.

drinking vessels

I like darting the cylindrical pieces.  I am going to try to add Hebrew letters to the larger piece I darted twice.  It made it easy and comfortable to hold, and I imagine, drink out of.  Awesome!!

These plates really caught my eye, I really like the geometrical shapes and angles that Mark Pharis used here.


I think that the use of detail in Kristen Kieffer's work really makes it look more antique-like and it's very beautiful.



I also really like this piece of Kristen Kieffer, it reminds me of a hot air balloon basket which I like, but I think my favorite part is just the daintiness of the handle, it looks so delicate while the base itself looks much heavier.


I thought this piece by Oribe was very interesting, it's shape is quite strange and it looks almost like it should be used for carrying something but also looks like it would be difficult to do so because of it's shape.

cups

I really like Kristen Kieffer because I really love the way she uses colors, also the details she puts on all her pieces are eye catching. Like these tea cups, they details on each cups are similar yet they are different. The colors on these tea cups complement each other as well.

I like this piece because of how fluid it is. The light colors and curved lines make it easy on the eyes. The piece is almost aquatic, I would expect to find something like this growing naturally at the bottom of the sea with a school of fish swimming through it.




This dish, crafted by Mark Pharis, could be easily mistaken for a ripe, juicy mango at first glance. It caught my eye with its contrasting bright orange and dark corner colors. I like that the edges are not smoothed completely and have been left slightly jagged; it gives the dish a rebellious personality.



This miniature horse trough was made by Holly Walker. The stripes on the inside could indicate that this horse trough was made for war horses. They also do a good job of breaking up the largely uncolored portion of the piece. The blue is easy on the eyes and has a nice sheen to it. The texture that covers the piece helps keep it from becoming stale, and creates a water-like feel.



Here we have a yin-yang style toaster-like object by Liz Zlot Summerfield. The dark vertical lines contrast the random leaf patter on the light side very well. I'm a little agitated that the sections of the piece aren't split directly up the middle, but aside from that I enjoy this. The gold handle on the top adds a nice brightness that is lacking in many of the other pieces I saw today

This curiously shaped container by Tara Wilson caught my eye because of its odd shape and use of color. The patterning on the left side makes the piece look as though it was made of two different materials, which it very well may have. The piece loks sort of precarious in the way that it was shaped though, and seems to me as though it is balanced and unbalanced at the same time.

These lidded jars by Lis Ziot Summerfield have an interesting use of color, as well as the trays above. Both have similar color schemes, but have totally different feeling. The trays use bold lines and the colors are places on the surface in a way that causes each to stand out. On the other hand, the bottom pieces use a similae color scheme in a softer way, leaving a majority of the piece an off-white color and using the other colors to segment the piece.

This beautiful blue corset by Kristen Keiffer doesn't appear as a vessel of any sort at first, until one finally looks away from the detail of the piece and finds the handles on either side. It stood out from the other examples associated with this assignment in the fine detail patterning the piece. 

This piece by Mary Berringer stood out inthe simplicity of its color choices. The texture she shose to incorpoate gives the piece an almost aged feeling which to me seems parried by the square on the bottom half that seems more of a modern concept in its delivery.

this piece is by jennifer liston. I think it is so cool looking. it has that left over slab of clay look, but she turned it in to something beautiful.

this last two images are both by tara wilson. I love the simplicity of the first cup. I hope to make something similar to that. the last two pieces i love the coloring she did. Im more a fan of the piece of the left, its something that i could actually see myself using.

Assignment 3- Roll it fold it, Brittney Windsor

I like this artiest Tara Wilson. Her design of this piece is unique and the

 bottom feet are striking to the eye.

I like this artiest Liz Zlot Summerfield. Their colerful and interesting.



I like this artiest Oribe. The glasing is interesting, and it looks

old which is what i like about it.

I really like this artest Kristen Kieffer. Her work is beautiful and the

detail makes her work look older.

 

I really liked this artist, John Gill.  His pieces are brightly colored and abstract, which I think makes them more interesting and fun to look at. 

I also liked the artist Mary Barringer.  Her pieces look aged and like the glaze has faded and the texture has been worn down, but that's why I like them.

I also really likes Mark Pharis.  I like the straight lines and contrast in color.  Also I like the geometric type style in his pieces.

I liked the artist Kristen Kieffer.  I liked the color and the detailing she uses, like the texturing in the design.

Tara Wilson

This piece of art i found very interesting.  I like hte handle on top how its so think and how the bottom is so different with its bulkyness.

 

 

Liz Zlot Summerfield

I love the leaf work done on the bottom piece, adds a subtle texture that really makes the art stand out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kristen Kieffers

I really like the softness and elegantness of this piece.  Its beautifully crafted detail is stunning. The color is very calming and the small detail is very intricate. 

 

 

Blog 3 Roll it, Fold it, Dart it

 

Kristen Kieffers piece stands out the most to me because of the coloring and detail. The piece has a softer elegance to it in contrast to some of the other pieces we looked at. 

Tara Wilson's piece is simpler and less complex but still has an interesting shape to it. In my opinion it resembles a heart.

I like he originality and shape of Oribe's piece. It stands out and makes you look twice.

Roll it, Fold it, Dart it

I love the texture Liz Zlot Summerfield has created on these pieces and it works very well with the colors. I would like to try something similar in my own pieces. I also like the accents of red in asymmetrical places.

This piece is absolutely stunning. I am impressed with the amount of intricate detail on the surface and like how the piece is made to resemble a corset. I think the soft blue color works with the embossed design and makes the texture reminiscent of lace. 

Another Summerfield piece, she did several of these styled pieces. This one and a very similar blue one were my favorite. I like the stripes on the side, which are hard to see on this piece but are more apparent on the blue version. The red accents here remind me of winter berries and i like the little handle on top. 

Like the corset style piece above this is made by Kristen Kieffer. Her work is amazing. She does intricate designs on pretty much all of her work and its a style I really like. The pillowing technique works well her with the other pattern. I read how she creates her soft lines, using slip and a trailer (like cake decorating). She does several layers to add visual depth and tactile interest. 

Blog 3 - Roll it Fold it Dart it

I like the way that the lip extends farther out on one side. I would like to do something like this for one of my own pieces.


I like the simplicity of this piece, and how the texture gives it a little more depth.


Again, I like how the lip extends farther out. I also like the scratch like texture that was applied. This shorter version of the extended lip is more of what I'd like to do.


I like the idea of making a platter with a lid. I especially like the detail put into the right side of this lid. It gives me ideas for textures that I would like to put on my own piece.

Rolling Folding and Darting

Mark Pharis has a very geometric style that is very simple but works well.

Deborah Schwartzkopf's work shows that really anything is possible.

Lorna Meaden has very intricate work which is interesting to look at.

Kristen Kieffer's work is very detailed and plant like. On this particular piece I like how the handles are textured and come out almost like octopus tentacles which gives me ideas for aquatic like pieces of my own.
