Beach Tile Incomplete

What techniques did you use?

For making the grass I used a pin tool and made little scratches to look like blades of grass.

Did you take any risks?

I think I took a risk my trying to replicate a landscape scene when it could have turned out really bad and nothing like the picture I was trying to replicate.

Can you make it better?

It will look much better after I glaze it and add all the colors so you can tell it is a night beach scene.

Finished Fruit Goblet

What were some of your solutions?

I attempted to build the goblet as one piece but it fell apart in the kiln. So then I had to glue the pieces together after they were glazed.

Did you take any risks?

I took risks when I had to glue the pieces together because I didn't know if the pieces would fall apart or stick together the right way.

How could you make your work better?

I could make my work better if I had glued the pieces together in a different way that wouldn't make it as lopsided and it would be more balanced because it tilts to one side.

In-process Ancient Vase

What were some of your solutions?

I've been using slabs to piece together my vase. I've also been leaving my vase out to dry when I add more slabs so it is stable and not wet when I add more pieces.

Is the project turning out the way you want it too?

The outside looks smooth and the vase it structurally stable but I wish I had made it wider to look more like the original ancient vase.

Is there detail in your work?

I'm just creating the vase now and I think I'm going to paint on the details. So no there is not much detail.
