And while looking for simple images online to re-create, this branding for an oyster restaurant caught my eye.
I love this graphic design. The single image of an oyster shell that's just a line drawing with some cross hatches and shadings. The stark contrast between black and white and more importantly, black background. The fonts, especially the serif of a swirl of a Helvetica letter in the word, Pearl. The truncation of the word trademark and placement of the year the restaurant was founded. I would love to take Kat's class on typography because I don't really know what typography is and know how to render my fondness for letters and simple drawings.
I'm also noting the details on my new necklace. I do love it and want to render it in ceramic. I can't find my clay journal with all the measurements I wanted to tinker with for a candelabra, and so maybe today at the community studio, I'll just mist my coils with more water and save it to build next week. Or make a small coil pot. I need to deviate from straight cylinders and make some organic and curvilinear outlines in my pots. Or make a few of these pendants.
I also really like the mystic sun pendant.
However, much I intend to make the pendants in my sketchbook, I get distracted by all the tools in the high school ceramics classroom. Yesterday in order to decompress, I used stamps and silicon molds to make a bunch more pins.
This pin I made from a plaster mold, and I can't wait to glaze the pots on this pin in three different glazes.
I made a couple pins semi-identical with the llama and the dachsund stamps, and of course, I had to play with letter stamps.
I wasn't really fond of the heart pin I made until I slip and scored a dog outline to it.
And now it's just about lunch time, which means I've got a couple hours to get into the headset for hand building. Oh what will I make today?
