Yesterday's Bowl

Last night I picked up my latest bowl from Pottery class. I used a different glaze for the inside and the outside. Quite a beautiful effect. The glaze that I used on the inside has a tendency to run, and pool, and drip, and where it does this in thick bits, it goes metallic. Very pretty. The glaze on the outside is super shiny, like almost a khaki green, and slightly transparent.

New Glazes

I went to a Ceramics Day in Joburg on Saturday. I demonstrated the way I make my pots at my teacher's table, and I also bought these incredible glazes. With crazy chaotic splotches. I can't wait to use them. I am going to make bowls that look like universes.

Buffy vs The Doggy Door

Whilst cleaning up my phone, I found this video of Buffy when she was still a puppy, having a fight with the doggy door. CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE!

My First Bioscope Job

In honour of year two with the Bioscopers, I am posting up my very first job I did with them.

These were a series of channel idents for Zimbabwe, for a brand of bread called Bakers Inn. We cut people out of bread and stop frame animated them. A fun two days.

Woah.

I can't remember where I found this photo, but I am so amazed at the ridiculousness of Apartheid that I'm posting it.

It's My Bioscope Birthday!

Now I have been directing at Bioscope for two years. How about that? It's nice to have that feeling that you are doing what makes you really happy in life. The whole nine to five thing is a joke, when you realize it is possible to find a job that gives you free time to enjoy your life. Yes, it does mean that you never know when you're going to be broke. And it's hard to plan holidays too far in advance. And when you get busy on a production, everything else has to take a backseat.

But I love it.

So I will post one of my latest bits of work. I love it because I got to shoot as though I was living in my dream world, where I'm the boss of Jeremy Clarkson. Boom!

It's My Birthday

Yesterday was my birthday, and so I wore a very special dress that I got from a funny little boutique in Paris. Very pretty.
