Project 1: 3-D Flower Pot

This flower pot is my first project of choice. I decided to continue with my designs of flowers since I had been working on making them last year. I like the blue alternation in the flowers but I dislike the green.

About Me Face Mask

This mask is a representation of myself. For the color of the mask I chose the colors of the ocean because in my drawing I inserted a picture of the beach because its my favorite place to go. I also added the flowers because I like flowers a lot. Most of my projects from last year ceramics had something to do with flowers. I only covered half of the face with flowers because I wanted the blue 'ocean' to be visible. 

Dice

This was the dice I made as my final project. This was easy to make because I have done multiple boxes before. After the dice was fired, I traced a small bottle cap to get the circles on there evenly and then I glazed them. I wish I would have made it one box as a whole and not with a detachable top.

Candle Holder

This is my candle holder. I would say it was kind of hard to make because I first had to cut out a lot of pedals of different sizes and then attach them together which was a struggle. Before I had glazed it, a pedal broke off but I was able to put it back on with the glaze. 

Flowered Box

 For my project one of choice, I decided to make a box with a flower on the lid. I made a rose on the lid because I thought it would be something easy and because I really like flowers, especially roses. The only thing I wish I would have done is add more smaller pedals to the rose.

Surface Decorating Project

This is a small flower pot I created using the five surface decorating techniques. The most difficult part about this project was doing the mishima. My favorite part was how the leaves gave the pot a lifted surface.
