so, as promised (ha) i'm slowly going to update you
all on what i was doing this summer, or rather what
i was making with my hands instead of my computer.



















this first project was something i had intended to do
a good two or three years ago. i had taken a pottery
class, and attempted to make a box. low and behold,
i over-glazed the thing and the glaze melted down
the sides effectively creating a nice little pool that
acted as super glue between the piece and the
kiln shelf. we had to break it to get it off, so i ended
up with all this pieces of beautifully glazed pottery.
obvious decision, make a mosaic. so i got a simple
wood picture frame to act as a base. then i glued on
the pieces and then grouted them into place. then
just painted the edges and popped in some of my
favorite pictures from brussels (which were
finally developed, a good 7 months after my
return, thanks mom) and voila.
