Justin Ambrose's Amazing Portfolio by Justin Ambrose https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose Made with big dreams en-us 2021-12-14 19:30:40 UTC 2024-11-09 01:50:46 UTC hello@padlet.com The project itself had no specific significance, so I just wanted to make something that I thought would look cool. My first attempt at this project unfortunately dried up and broke apart, so I had to remake the entire project which ended up working out because i'm much more satisfied with the way my second attempt at the project turned out. justin11238 https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947892056 2021-12-14 19:40:08 UTC https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947892056 I made even square outlines on a slab of clay by tracing them with a wooden stick justin11238 https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947899818 2021-12-14 19:44:14 UTC https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947899818 Then I divided the squares one way also with the wooden stick to turn them into rectangles justin11238 https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947902218 2021-12-14 19:45:29 UTC https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947902218 justin11238 https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947903322 2021-12-14 19:46:03 UTC https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947903322 After I had a desirable amount of rectangle slabs I then stacked them up to a 12 inch long tower justin11238 https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947909023 2021-12-14 19:49:01 UTC https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947909023 The project began to go wrong when I took it home during thanksgiving break. The slabs slightly dried up and I tried my best to revive them but unfortunately it ended up crumbling in the end. justin11238 https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947912752 2021-12-14 19:50:55 UTC https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947912752 justin11238 https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947914558 (trying to make the slabs damp again by soaking them in water)]]> 2021-12-14 19:51:51 UTC https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947914558 justin11238 https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947916667 On top of it being dry, I also slipped and scorer incorrectly which made things even worse in the end]]> 2021-12-14 19:53:01 UTC https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947916667 After the break I decided it was best just to recycle my project and start from scratch. So then I rolled out more slabs and decided to try to take 3 long slabs and spiral them on a large pipe. justin11238 https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947920387 2021-12-14 19:55:02 UTC https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947920387 justin11238 https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947921191 2021-12-14 19:55:31 UTC https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947921191 justin11238 https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947921867 2021-12-14 19:55:55 UTC https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947921867 To keep the clay on the pipe while it got leathered, I pinched the ends of the slab on to the end of the pipe. justin11238 https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947923754 2021-12-14 19:56:58 UTC https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947923754 Then I cut off the ends of the slabs on the pipe so it was flat and made more slabs to keep the spiral intact once it was off the pipe justin11238 https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947926176 2021-12-14 19:58:15 UTC https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947926176 justin11238 https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947926854 2021-12-14 19:58:38 UTC https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947926854 I made sure to slip and score correctly this time and it ended up sticking to the slabs nicely justin11238 https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947928696 2021-12-14 19:59:41 UTC https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947928696 Although tedious, I carefully took the clay off of the pipe and put a plastic bag under it just in case it were to stick to the pipe when I wanted to take it off. justin11238 https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947930929 2021-12-14 20:00:57 UTC https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947930929 After it dried a little bit more I took it off of the pipe and it stayed intact justin11238 https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947934472 2021-12-14 20:02:52 UTC https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947934472 Finally, I took a wet sponge and cleaned up the outside and then I was finished. justin11238 https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947936597 2021-12-14 20:04:04 UTC https://padlet.com/justin11238/justinambrose/wish/1947936597
