Drop Frames and Monsters

Ok… it’s time to throw a few more bananas into the cake…

I’ve decided to get another studio monkey to help with the R&D in prep for the Small Monsters exhibition.
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!

The heavy breathing right next to the camera doesn’t help, but it does make you feel like you are right there.
