Description
Cone 6, PorcelainI guess this one didn't run away fast enough.
Funnily enough, the sponges around my studio have been vanishing one by one. I suspect they are taking lessons from my sponge sculptures.

Awwwww... you make me miss my old pottery classes... in which I never did any real pottery. Instead...
...I sculpted!
I'm not too good at making vessels, yet, but I really, REALLY want to find the campus pottery room so I can just sit & sculpt statuettes of animals & monsters & abstracts like I use to that one fine year!

Ah, so the sponge holes are made from carving? That's really neat: it must have been very tedious though. But it really pays off, since this is one of the most unique abstract sculpture I've seen so far.
Kind of reminds me of a jellyfish (the main part with the holes being the 'bell' and the ends being the tentacles).

Mote'kay'cheram. ^_^ (Excuse me while I slaughter my farsi, which I know isn't your language but I need to practice and You might have heard the phrase anyhow. :crossfingers: ) Thanks. ^_^ I need to make more in this vien, I'd forgotten about it because it was in a failed kiln firing... it didn't go all the way to temperature at first. It was about a month before it finally got taken all the way to temperature, and I'm so happy with it. ^_^

Yay! I love the colours!
I swear though, you practically have to nail sponges down to keep them from running away!

I know! But then they aren't very useful. Hrmmm... I'm thinking about teatheres right now. Like those retractable types...

That's a great idea! ...Now I have this bizarre mental image of a giant sponge wearing a dog collar and chained to a tree in someone's front yard. (O_o)

I absolutely love this. Reminds me very much of Ceratocorys horrida, one of my favourite dinoflagellates

Naaah, just drunk...
He'll be better after he he wakes up tomorrow morning, though with a terrible headache.
alternatively, could have come from Larson's 'boneless sponge farm'
btw, the sponges at Jeff's have long, fine, dog hair all over them...better they disappear altogether
