opinions please



I saw Kyle Carpenter's post about the 500 vase submission. I have no vase photos except this one and don't have time really to get anything made and photographed. But I do like this photo. Should I submit this?Let me know what you think. You won't hurt my feelings if you are negative, honest! It's a coil built vase, stands 18" with pipenburg glaze sprayed on and Raku fired.

YES! That's a giant yes -- it's fabulous. Now I can see why you are pursuing raku. You definitely should submit it. Do you have all the info for submitting?

Go for it! It's a great vase and the worse that can happen is that they say "no"...so what? I am going to be digging through boxes to find a few of my own pots to see if I can get decent enough photos for submission. The entry form kind of scared me when I read about the digital image requirements, but I think I'll be ok.

Good Luck!!

Send it in, Tracey. Those "500" books show a tremendous range of work and this is a pretty damn cool vase.

it's quite lovely and the lighting is more dramatic i think than most of the lark book photos makes it stand out..

Yeah I think you should. It's nice to look at, and it also has a bit of a quirky personality. What's the worst that can happen? You get rejected but at least you tried.

Thanks for the input everyone! I'm just not that objective with my work. I filled out the application today and burned a CD so it's off in the mail tomorrow. I think everyone on the blog roll should submit something. Come on, DO IT!!
