Earthly bracelet

I have also made a bracelet. It was made from a combination of different beads. Two of which were made to be used in earings. Which Mrs. Thompson wasn't so sure of me using them but she eventually allowed me to use them. She wasn't so sure that the string would hold together because she said that stretchy string doesn't hold. In an effort to prove her wrong and keep my bracelet together I glued inside of a bead the point where the two strings come together to make the not. I very happy with my bracelet, and if I were to make it again I would probably just do the same thing, I'm happy with it.

Beaded neckless

I made a neckless I used 4 different types of beads in total. Of those beads I had made a pattern out of  these smaller brown beads and some earthy marble looking square beads. The pattern was as follows; two brown beads, one marble square, five brown beads, one square marble square. At about the middle of the neckless I added a madalion, it brown-copper in color and was shaped like a misshaped hand. The whole neckless had a very earthy feel. All together I do like the way it came out, and I am very happy with my piece.

Still can't input picture

I made a apron for Mrs. Kolesa pottery class. I could not instert a picture of it because of my phone and the website not wanting to be friends. But I use three pieces of fabric, all of which were just a little bit ugly. But the whole project took 2-3classes all together. I overlapped two fabrics to make the bottom portion of the apron, so that when she were to wheel throw the flaps would come over her legs to prevent clay from being thrown into them.

This was my cultural inspired peice. I did make it at the time just to get a grade but after it being made and looking back on it, i really do like it. I used a white matte glaze for the base and painted on a Japanese symbol meaning trust. This one was a little bit rushed also. So if I had a chance to go back I would just take my time with it and just put more of myself into it and not so much of a project. But with that being as it may, I enjoyed it and I enjoyed making it but its still not my favorite. 

This peice is one of the plates that i tried to make and it floped, i just was able to make somthing out of this one. This one didnt really have any type of refrence besides that i wanted to make a plate for it. I dont mind it but its not my favorite that why i allowed one of my friends to glaze it and do with it whatever she wanted. So cant wait to see what that looks like. But if i were to try agian i would instead of a mistake i would much rather make the peice on purpose and spend my time glazing it but i was feeling lazy that day so what you gona do. Over all it ok not my favorite but i defenatly dont hate it. Just wishing i could have done more with it to change it up or make it more interesting.

bowl tie

This is my bowl which i transformed and cut into. I coiled out a little peice of clay then wrapped it to keep together the two peices i cut. Im still waiting on a glaze firing to see the final product but this is what it looks like with the laze on it. I am waiting to see what it really looks like. I got this idea from a picture that was in my teachers computer screen and decided i wanted to try to recreate the peice i had seen. We didnt have the exact glazes so i wanted to go with a glaze desine i saw while i was pintrest. I used a stone texture blue glaze for the outside and a turquoise glaze on the inside. With a bright yellpw for the rope that holds together the two cut out peices. Overall i like this peice and i am pleased if i had a choice i would have just really taken my time to profect the peice and to just give it my full attention. 

This was a project ment to be made. I was bored n out of ideas, so through that boredum i got frustrated and started cutting and rolling shapes together. Then just started slaping them on. I was actually happy with the outcome. I did just randomly apply two diffrent crystaltextures on to the piece to give it an abstract glazing to go with the abstract theme of the piece. If I could do it agian, I would take my time making the piece instead of rushing to slap things together to make somthing because I was bored. I really just wanna see what the abstract glazing idea I had come to life.

Ocean piece

This is my clam piece I made for the ocean themed project. I started with a idea to just throw a piece. I didnt work out so well it folded over on its self. So i got mad befor i was about to rip it off the bat, i stoped my self and put waves into it to give it a clam look. I used a crystal text on the outside to give a ocean theme on the piece. I used atransparent pearl for the inside to give it some contrast to the wild colors on the outside. All together I like the piece, and its really cool that somthing that I was gona scrap turned into somthing that i ended uo enjoying. If i were to change anything about it, it would be to make the clam intentionaly istead of as a mistake.

I had another project that was misplaced/stolen. It was a small vase that was a gift to a friend. I took jet black and what looked like a toothpick and gently ran it across the surface of the object multiple times, it took me the whole  class. Then I took s purple, orange,  and yellow underclass and added a couple of lines. It was fired to brisk wear then after the clear glaze was put on. That's when it was taken, so now im waiting for ut to come up somewhere so I can give my gift to my friend

animal transformation

I had made these three bowls as a set. They were originally made to be stacked atop one another. The original idea was a snowman. But as a project came up i used the oppurtunity to make my own interpretion of a barnacle. If i could change anything it would be to paint the clay background a peachy gray color. When the green dots were put on the bowls they were intended to stand out. During the fireing the flattened out onto the peice.if i could change somthing it would be to take my time to plan out what i would want to do with my peices and follow through with my ideas.
