The 2nd hand built project for me was going to be very exciting because I was going to work on a three-dimensional dog head. Unfortunately, I had spent the week before working on my bowl throwing so I didn't get to my 2nd hand built project until Wednesday. I knew I was going to have trouble completing it so I decided to push the dog back until the time comes to do the third project. Now, for my 2nd project, I decided to take a religious direction. I am a Christian so God is very, very important in my life. He gives me strength and motivates me. I knew I would have to pick a design that wouldn't take too long to do, but at the same time be challenging. I decided that I was going to do two crosses. I would create these crosses and then hollow them out. I would then create (4) nails symbolizing the puncturing devices used to post Jesus on his cross. In both crosses, the nails will be placed inside, one horizontal and the other vertical. These nails will be able to be held so they must be able to be removed from the crosses. I had trouble trying to get a good shape out of the nails. Because in reality, nails are very strait, I had a lot of trouble attaining that. I also had difficulty getting the right roundness out of my nails. The crosses aren't the most crafty looking things you have seen, but I kind of like the way they are turning out. I kind of want the crosses to have a rock feel to them. I want them to look like stone. Hopefully, all goes well.
