That time of year again

I was going to spend the entire week putting up my entire hoard of Jesuses. Then I considered my target audience, who are clearly on some pretty odd chemicals if they’re still reading this. So, I bow to their refined sensibilities, and present…this thing.

For a long time, I thought it was some sort of strange bent flower vase, with a weird baby motif. Or maybe H.R. Giger’s incense burner. Then someone took me aide and gently explained the birds and the bongs. And a story unfolded, of another failed high school art project, totally creeped-out high school art teacher, and the frustration of the amateur bong-maker. Or, bongateur.

Ironically, while the entire thing is covered with holes, the only intentional one is clogged with glaze :(

Which is why my first theory of the incense burner from the third circle of hell made more sense. That would make it some sort of strange, smoking unicorn-baby hybrid. The whole “drug paraphernalia” thing was actually kind of a let-down, it seemed too reasonable.

I’m thinking, though, that this would be a very bad trip. You’d be worried that the strange, pale, sluglike baby-faces that were peeking around the bottom of your white knuckles…accusingly…pleadingly…were going to start talking to you. Or worse, singing.

Friday, back to Jesus. He’ll be a welcome change from the pale, singing slug-babies.

    When I read “birds and the” my mind went somewhere else at first and I was scared, really scared.

    On every level this is frightening. The faces are not horrible but you put it all together and the only conclusion is a disturbed mind was behind it.

      I’m hoping that this was a high school art project gone awry. The babies are stamped wih some sort of die–which raises a lot of questions, like “why would anyone need to mass-produce sad ceramic babies?” but we can’t ask those questions.
