my new love - clay

When I can't edit video anymore... I look for something not so hung up in right and wrongs, something more subjective.

Not that the rules of editing film, audio or words can't be broken, but sometimes you just can't compare sitting at a computer to playing with colors, chemicals and clay in a studio... really letting your mind go.

My good pal, Dave Archer turned me on to a clay that can be used without a kiln. He also showed me a technique to grow off of... so here's the first 4 of that growth.

FROM AFRICA WITH LOVE... drift wood, broken glass, saw blade, sea shell and clay.






NE'RE-DO-U-WELL MAGIC MOJO BOTTLE PT.1 - HARSH TONGUE, BAD WORDS, GOOD TEETH - clay, broken glass, sharks tooth, small glass bottle, canadian nickle, broken angel, garlic bulb husk, beads, clay and secret stuff. this has been blessed and is a highly charged.

SALTON SEA & PEPPER SHAKERS - clay, a penny, a pinkie ring, mertle the turtle shell, tree bark and an acorn from dave archers back yard.

THE POWER OF LOVE COMPELS YOU... OR THE BLACK COOKIE MASS CHALICE.- clay, glass bowl, beads, sea shells, ely bank card, piece of cyotel painting, clay pottery from an indian dig, key to ely soda storage, key to Kristina's NOLA apt, key to a hotel room, evil charles salvia tin, guitar pic from jeff becerra, sid yidish doll, vietnam vet stress coin, diamond head mardi gras coin, eraser, 1/8 teaspoon, butter fist glove pin, cork from 12th anniversary wine, a pecan from behind the dew drop inn, war on terror army medal, amy hair tie, a button from the jackets of Anton LaVey, Jeff Becerra and me (Shane Bugbee) and more secret stuff.
