This, my friends, was an extremely problematic design. Whether the design was even able to be put into 3-D form was cast under doubt. Because of the nature of the design, how it twists and turns, i had to redraw it a few more times to see it from all angles so that i was able to actually make it. It was painfully put together by multiple slabs, and I had to wait for one part to dry before joining the other side. (It was separated into 3 parts before joining).I took a little more than 6 hours i think.
And the most hateful thing is, it BROKE on me. It threw a tantrum and smattered into a thousand million pieces just because it wasnt fired. and i actually tried to join back the pieces by buying UHU glue. Sadly, the situation was regrettably irreversible, and i had to make another one. The second one lasted long enough till after the photoshoot to break, mercifully. I think the joints were too thin, and clay was just not a suitable medium for stable-ness as well as to show the thin lines of the furniture. When i designed it, i kind of envisioned it to be made with malleable plastic, that was all flowy and nice. I guess thats where it went wrong.
Along with all the tough work and mistakes, this is actually my favorite one, and my most beloved one, maybe because of the emotional attachment to it, but i really like the overall structure of it.It kind of challenges you, do you feel that? or maybe thats because i developed a habit of talking to clay.
