Artist's Comments

I couldn't quite call this my FAVORITE, but I really did enjoy this project. It took a long time and was kind of the final straw in me understanding how to be patient with clay. Uh, project was a 5-stage evolution from one object to another; I love armadillos and I've always appreciated how interesting shoes can look.

Many shoelaces were lost in the making of this project, but thankfully all ears and tails survived.

The glaze for this was a shitty surprise. This is the same glaze as on the tea set, but either it was very diluted or fired differently, because no orange or white really showed up, and I lost a lot of contrast in the stripes and laces (they were supposed to be orangey, the body whitish), and the black on the face was supposed to be matt. Still, though, I'm very fond of them. My professor liked them, and I'm just insecure enough to adore him for it!

I need to pawn these off onto somebody.

Thanks babe! The final stage's name is Little Fuck, as he broke three times and was generally an adorable living hell.

Oh my god babe these are fucking awesome, I adore them! I love how the toe of the shoe turns into his forehead, and the evolution from the bottom of the shoe into the shell is genius.

Looove.

What odd shoes. I think I'd make my future kids wear them.
