WHY DESTROY YOURSELF? WHY DIE BEFORE YOUR TIME? THE KEEPERS OF THE HOUSE TREMBLE. DESIRE IS NO LONGER STIRRED. DO NOT CONFORM ANY LONGER TO THE PATTERN OF THIS WORLD.

Pottery Patterns

This piece must be two years old if a day. It was meant to be part of a bird bath tower and is supposed to have a finished look as it is but legend has it that if one were to paint each triangle in an assortment of glazes and different colours it would look ten times better...or perhaps ten times worse?
There's a secret to obtaining such a unique, textured exterior, to get it looking so purposeful and symbolic. It's called pressing the bottom of a MILK CRATE into the wet clay. Yeah, you heard what I said.

The above is a pottery-based A4 collage, or 'mood board', which sounds better.
