Matching cup:
This is the matching cup for my final. It also hasn't been glaze fired yet. I used all the same colors that I used for my teapot. I can't wait to see how my pieces turn out when they are completed.

Teapot

This is my teapot before it has been glaze fired. I used blue yonder mixed with cotton tail for the base. I used orchid and a light pink for the flowers. I used just froggy for the vines.  I am super excited to see how the teapot will turn out when it is glaze fired!

FEATS OF CLAY TEAM 2014!!!!

Completed owl: I mixed sunkissed and cotton tail together and painted the whole owl yellow.  I painted the inside of the owl gray hare and made it come out through the eyes. I added polka dots around the ears because I felt like it needed something else to it.

Completed vases: The vase on the far left had texture on the bottom. I took a ribbon toon and scraped away pieces of clay to create a texture.  I painted about 3 coats of purple-licious glaze then went over it with seafoam green. The two glazes mixed together and have the vase a really pretty look. The middle vase has texture on the top and I used a ribbon tool for this vase as well. I painted the top with cotton tail and the bottom is painted with spring meadows. This is my favorite vase I love how it turned out! The other vase has a little but if texture at the top done with a ribbon tool. I painted this vase with purple sage an the inside is a dark brown color to bring out the brown speckles in the purple sage.

Vases in progress:
  These three vases still need fired but I love the textures I used on them.  I took a ribbon tool and scraped different parts of the vases. I plan to paint the vases a turquoise and white with purple accents.

Place setting
The artist I chose for my place setting was Mondrian. I chose neutral colors like tuxedo, grey hare, cotton tail, and I also mixed cotton tail and grey hare together to get a light grey. I like abstract pieces which is why I chose an abstract painting style.

First Cup:
So far, this is the best project I've done. I didn't have much help doing this one and I was very surprised by the way it turned out. I did about two coats of rust red and dripped down the sides with blue ridge. I love the way this piece turned out. By far my favorite so far!

 First Bowl:

This was the first bowl I made by myself.  Looking at it now, it's not the best. It's a little crooked on the side and the bottom is not even because of the glaze.  The glaze I used was really chunky which is why it is so colorful. If I could redo this project, I would put less glaze on it and try to make the top more even.
