From @joeleeceramics Carving this sculptural, coil built piece. I'm trying to restrain myself and not carve the entire piece top to bottom. I only outlined the top half to carve so we'll see how it goes. Usually when I do that, I feel like I'm leaving the piece unfinished, but I'm trying to stick to the narrative that this is a "clay body" and that the person is gradually getting their body covered in tattoos. So, the "body" is a work in progress, therefore I can leave it as is, frozen at a moment in time. #lydiathetattooedlady #workinprogress #coilbuiltpottery #carvedpottery What do you think? #joeleeceramics #art #design #artist #handmade #artistsoninstagram #shopsmall #arts #craft #handcrafted #etsyshop #etsyseller #ceramics #pottery #makersgonnamake #maker #makersmovement #ceramic #ceramicart #handmadeceramics #instapottery #wheelthrown #contemporaryceramics #pottersoninstagram #handmadepottery #potterymaking https://www.instagram.com/p/CX09E11JWQK/?utm_medium=tumblr
