Ceramic Nightmares
Whoa goodness.. Am I ever going to need some serious optimism to counteract that last bought of emo in my previous post. :P
SO yeah, these days I don't think I have all that much to complain about. I'm still mighty busy, but it's doing a bunch of stuff that I love doing, so, that's really not too much of a complaint.
I suppose my main problem right now is that I'm rather sleep deprived.. I think it's a result of my spending too much time doing ceramics.
My first time working with clay (making Eliot's gargoyle ) was the first time I experienced a reoccurring nightmare. In my dream I was looking for a container to put the gargoyle in to transport it to school. After deciding that the blender seemed like an ideal place for my delicate clay sculpture, I would proceed to turn the blender on and blast my creation to smithereens. I had this dream over a half dozen times throughout the night. And every time I would believe that this had actually happened, and feel the need to go check on the gargoyle and make sure that it was infact still intact.
These days my dreams are far less exciting or frequent, but they involved dropping or chipping the plates and platters that I'm currently working on.
I never lost this much sleep over my painting major, that's for sure... I suppose that's probably because you can't accidently destroy your painting in quite the same way. *accidentally sets painting on fire*
