Long before time Dinosaurs ruled the world, towering over all other inhabitants they ruled with an iron claw. Until one day when a meteorite pummeled to earth destroying all the Dinosaurs, except one. The only one to survive was about 3 inches tall weighing 4 ounces with a “Made in China” stamped across his body. Well, ok, maybe that’s not historically sound, but it did make a good opening to this installment of my blog. With a plastic dinosaur in my Backpack I confidently strutted into my Ceramics class ready to take on whatever the teacher threw at me. The truth is he read my mind and decided to assign a new project; an Animal Rattle. Yes you read correctly, a Animal Rattle, automatically my mind went to the idea of creating a vicious T-Rex as child’s toy, and what better to model this creature off of then the Dinosaur situated between my Sketchbook and the inside of my Backpack. An Animal Rattle consists of a large chunk of raw clay, 20 clay beads, and an epic idea like a T-Rex. Tomorrow I set out on an adventure that will rival Jurrasic Park, wish me luck!
Haha I loved the opening in your blog very funny.
