The Sketchbook
Where Ideas Have Been Born

First Sketchbook Page
This sketchbook page came from an online test taken to see what kind of creative type we are.
Trivet Sketchbook Page
This was my original sketch for the trivet. It did not exactly end up like this but I still enjoyed the outcome.


Sugar + Cream Sketchbook Page
This was my original idea for my suagr and cream holders. Iteams like the top did not get incorporated. And also the original design eventually got changed.
Tree Lady Sketchbook Page
This was my sketch for my surrealist bust. Elements like the eyelashes and two toned lips did not materialize but the general overview of the piece was executed.


Tea Pot Sketchbook Page
This sketchbook page outlines my initial big plans for my tea poy and tea cups. However, many elemnets did not make it like the mask cups, and the multitude of bejewled pieces on the teapot to resemeble Carol Long.
Butaoxi Kao Sketchbook Page
Some sketchbook pages like this one are used to highlight an artist of the day. The artitis I chose is Butaoxi Kai who uses pearls in her pieces as tears. However the tear are not only for represneting sadness but other feeling as well.


Oil + Vinegar Sketchbook Page
This sketchbook page was a different idea I had created regarding the project that coincided with the sugar and cream set. This was to be made with terracotta and matte glazes for a more earthier feel.
Atelier Sisu Sketchbook Page
This sketchbook page was also meant to highlight a artist of the day. This artist had these giant iradecent bubbles that were a public type art piece that I really enjoyed when first encountering it.


Tea Pot Sketchbook Page
This sketchbook page was another tea pot idea aside from my final tea pot decision. Thsi was inspired by the literay series A Court of Throns and Roses by Sarah J Maas, with my artist inspiration being Asya Kozina.
Xomatok Sketchbook Page
This sketchbook page was to highlight the artist Xomatok for artist of the day. This artist would paint the cracks on the sidewalks rainbow which gives a prittier appearence to a cities broken areas or parts.
