Enter the Jade Monkey... (inside joke)... I had the good fortune to have a helper out in the studio testing a set of Drop Frames this week-end. Jade's slab work was exceptional and opened up a whole new path. High Five!
These frames are from Matt at MossBeach Ceramics. Check them out, these are a whole bunch of fun!
Decorate a slab an set in the frame and drop!
FUN!
There are so many directions to take this...
Big thanks to Matt & the Monkey!
This is only going someplace good...

dem bones dem bones... cool and simple, jade's is cool too
oohhh love those bones!
Can't wait to see these come out of the kiln!
P.S. I'm dying to ask about the bones. are they cut out of card stock and impressed in the clay? They remind me of collagraph and relief printing. Could be because I am in printmaking now. Keep surprising us with all your great work.
Card stock is close. It's a plastic version of card stock. It's the remnants left over from cutting out billets of paper stencils. The plastic holds the billet stiff enough to cut cleanly with a jewelers saw. Now I have enough plastic what-cha-ma-jiggers to play around in new directions and make much larger compositions. Yes they work great for embossed printing notably with freshly pulled hand crafted paper.
Nice slab work, Love the patterns!
OMG! I gotta see these plates done! Those bones kick some serious a$$. I wholly approve of the studio monkey concept. I started training mine at about four, he's seventeen now, and very useful.....
That DOES look like fun!
