Tarantino Tarantula
Remember me saying I attended a Bridal shower at a ceramics place a couple of Friday nights ago? I finally picked up my completed pieces yesterday and as it turned out, it was great inspiration! I am one of those 'weirdos' who likes spiders, snakes and bugs...So when I spotted the ceramic tarantula on the shelf, I knew I found a soulmate. He took awhile to paint, what with all the legs, and stripes, and fangs...but I am really happy with how he turned out. He keeps me company on my desk while I'm making beads, and he's pretty quiet...most of the time...
The tumbler was a lot of fun - 'structured chaos' I suppose..I'm never one to stray too far from symmetry and pattern, so I tried my best to go a little 'out there' with my lines and colors...I have this guy on my desk as well, holding all my boro punties and chopsticks so I can make twisties and pull stringer. The colors just sang out needing to have a set made in their honor, so the Tarantino Tarantula set magically appeared...
I think today, before I jump on the torch, I'm going to visit my local bookstore and grab a fistful of magazines. I get great inspiration from them as well, and its time to stock up...where do you like to find inspiration?
