My piece shows of the line theme mostly due to its back round proportions. At first i didn't have anything that had to do with the line theme but then i realized i could incorporate lines by making the cactus plant look like its sitting on a counter top.
I really like how my piece turned out. At first i really didn't know how i felt about it, but once i started to print my piece i liked it a lot because it had sort of a rustic feel to it due to the way it came out. Also i think that my color mixture worked really well together. I used blue. green, and some white to give it the color mix shown above. Basically, i wouldn't really change anything about my piece i ended up liking it a lot.

To complete my piece it first had to be fired, which took a few days. Then i used a blue Glaze for the body of my piece. Then i used a red Glaze for the anchor on my lid. This process took me about two days because i put many layers on my piece so that the color would pop. Finally, my piece would finish by being fired for the second time. Then it ended up looking like the images above.
I think that the color really was successful overall. I wasn't fully sure of how it was going to look but i'm glad that it turned out brighter rather than lighter.

Than for the lid i plan on making an anchor that you can take the lid off with. My theme is based on the beach or water.
I have found that making my piece even all around is hardest, other than that everything else is going smoothly. I think its hardest for me because when i shave it down a little i end up taking off more than i wanted to. i think that the shape of my piece is going well so far, the idea i had in my head looks really similar to what i have made so far. To make my piece i have used the scratch method to attach my bottom and the layers together. I also use this to even out some of the more thick parts of my piece. To make my piece not have any marks on it i use the slab roller to make it as clean as possible so its presentable. Slipping is a process i used to attach my corners and pieces as well, which is very helpful if you want your piece to stay together. Tested ColorsWhen we tested our colors i learned a lot about how a tiny bit of one color can affect the whole outcome. Especially when it comes to making the color lighter or darker, you have to measure the exact amount you want to make that color right for your painting.
