My choice project is a small teapot, about 5 inches tall and 7 inches from handle to spout. It is well made, very sturdy with a narrow base and wide lip. The lid shrank in the kiln more than the body did so it falls in almost constantly which is a big disappointment. It has a blue stain which is consistent with my other projects, elaborating on my color scheme which can later add to my theme. I plan to give this to my grandma for Christmas!

My pitcher is about 4" wide and 5" tall. It is on the smaller side but the great attention to detail makes up for it. I stained it with a dark blue with about 6 flowers on it in various locations to add interest and dimension. The base in the center of the pitcher i my favorite, as shown above. The picture also has a very even foot ring and a well crafted handle. I got the inspirtation from the pitcher I found whle giong through my moms old things from high school, she made one with beautifullly crafted flowers when she was about my age!!

Set of Three

I created these pieces as  set of three understanding that glaze could tie them together even if they did not share a similar shape. The teapot is about 5 inches wide and 5 inches high. The half and half glaze gives it a more interesting shape and ties into the teacup and saucer picture behind it. The teacup in the center is 3 inches by 4 inches with a very even foot ring. I dipped it half in blue and then then the rest in clear which made it lookas though it belonged with the saucer. The plate is about half an inch high but has a diameter of 4 inches, made with quality and footed nicely. I like how these pieces came together in as  a FINAL result, a teaset.
