This is a choice project that is 4.5 X 2.5 Inches. This choice project was very hard to throw on the wheel because it became too narrow to fit my hand into, so I had to throw most of it with a sponge on a stick. This project has 5 triangles that I carved and glazed into its sides to add different shapes to this basic cylinder. The glaze I used was a forest green and while the whole inside of the project is that one color, the outside only has the green on the triangles and dripping down from the top. I then added clear to the rest of the cylinder to give it some shine. I really like the dipping effect from the top rim of the project and think that the triangles help distract the eye from the basic shape of the cylinder.

This tall project is 5.5 X 3 Inches and was thrown on the wheel. The project is a cylinder that gets wider at the top instead of going straight up. The glazes I used were a dark blue and a black dripped over the blue. I turned the tall project upside down once the blue glaze dried, and dripped the black glaze from to bottom so that it would give the effect of being pooled at the top and looking thicker at the top since it usually runs down. I really like how the glaze complements the shape of the project because the shape of this tall project is very simple, but the subtle color change in the glaze helps make it more appealing to the eye.

This project is of two bowls. I am going to be donating one of these bowls and right now I am leaning toward donating the larger bowl with the dripping glaze from the rim because I think it looks very nice and will hopefully be enjoyed by somebody. Both of these bowls were glazed with an unknown glaze which looked pink in the bucket but had no name on it at the time. I took a chance, thinking that they would end up pink, but to my surprise, it was a beautiful celestial blue color. I glazed one bowl with only that blue, and the other with that blue on the top rim, and in small strokes at the bottom, then covered it with clear. I love the strokes that the bottom of the larger bowl because they give it more personality than if it were glazed with only one color. I think that the plain blue bowl would have ended up looking a lot better if I dripped the blue glaze on the inside and then glazed with clear. When I threw the bowls, I forgot that they would shrink significantly, I am happy that I made them larger than I normally would because they ended up being the perfect size. I feel like Both of these bowls are very good quality and that the larger one might be one of my best bowls I have ever made because it is not too think on the bottom and I love the shape of it.
