Sgraffito & Slip. Experiment #1

Experimenting with red clay and slip...

Sgraffito in Blue

Years ago, I took drawing animation workshop. It was divided in two parts, classical animation with color pencils on paper and the second one with acrylics on cellulose acetate. At the end of the workshop we had 2 short animated films of... 3 minutes (If i remember correctly). But where are those tapes now??? Somewhere in Lima I hope, maybe one day I will see them on youtube!

Anyway, I was remembering those days and the friends of that time and I ended up drawing birds flying. I was in charge of the birds, in one of those short films, one bird in particular, and I think is time for him to be on the spotlight again.

This is the first attempt to recreate his adventures, more will come soon.

Just Blue

Here is the blue version of one of my Tocapu plates.

Blue & White Tocapu Plates. Part 2

Design #2

Blue & White Tocapu Plate. Part 1

I was thinking of doing a set of 6 plates but I ended up with 4. Each plate is different, but keeping the Tocapu theme. I also made one in blue, maybe I should do more of that design in different colors.

Green and purple "Tocapu" coasters

Here they are, the final product.

It's "Tocapu" time!

It's time to work again and cut some glass. I had cut some green and purple squares, and the plan is to do coasters. Once again I am using the Inca's tocapus as an inspiration for my designs. I think I should start working on series or collections, but I get distracted so easily and fast that I can never accomplish that. Maybe that should be the 2012 resolution. Concentrate and Focus!

These will be a set of 6 coasters anew I am playing again with 2 colors and 3 designs.
