VIOLENCE MILK!!!!! What originally started as an inside joke, became a real thing!! Standing at about 7 inches tall, this little milk carton full of Violence Milk is one of my favorite pieces that I made (:
I'm going to bring her to my dorm once I move in and use her as a planter!!
a handmade mug inspired by the album cover for your city gave me asthma.
(the paint job on the letters got pretty messed up, admittedly i didnt carve them in very deep so it was hard to paint white into the grooves)
in case my hand there isnt enough of a reference, this cup is super tiny. it holds about 5oz. did i intend for it to be that small ? no !! but its so cute so its okay
(it has been swiftly repurposed into a holder for my zebra mildliners tho)
i also have some progress pictures under the cut:
heres what it looked like fresh out of the bisque firing + after i shaved down the rough edges
and heres what it looked like with the unfired glaze !
this project was so unbelievably stressful for no reason, i was having like false prophetic visions and nightmares about it getting destroyed or the glaze job ruined, but luckily i think it turned out pretty great ! at least, for my very first handmade mug. probably would've looked a little smoother if i couldve used a pottery wheel.
