This vase is 8 inches by 4 inches. I glazed it yellow and purple to resprsent the contrasts in my life. The flower keeps the otherwise simple piece interesting. I wish that i had been listening when Mrs. H said that the purple would need a clear finish because this purple turned out very chalky and smeared over the yellow. 

My hand & wheel project is 6 inches tall and 3 inches wide. I made it a pitcher with a flared lip and handle. attached to the side is a 3-D Flower which i coiled out of extra clay. The foot ring is very defined giving it better shape. I dipped the entire thing in purple but painted the attached flower blue to make it stand out even more. This is one of my favorite pieces i've made in ceramics because the eniter project flowed smoothly with not mistakes in footing or glazing!

My theme choice turned into a vase with 3 different circumferences. It is about 8 inches tall and 4 inches wide. Again my glazes represent the contrasts through out my life. The inside is a purple which i originally thought was going to turn out darker but fired as more of a lavender. I wish i had dipped it in clear after that. The outside is dipped solid yellow with big purple Hawaiian flowers painted strategically on it. The overall affect is very cheery to match my positive personality! 

My lidded wheel is about 4 inches by 2 inches, in the shape of a honey pot. It is short and wide with an inverted knob lid that fits inside the narrowest part of the vase. It is splattered blue and yellow with a clear glaze over the top, showing off the contrasting ideas around each of my projects. It has a smooth texture although the lip is slightly rough and could have been compressed better. 

Although my plates dont match, they go well with my underlying theme, which is contrast. Both plates are about 8 inches in diameter and have a double foot ring. One is yellow and brown, creating an overlapping green color, representing differences in the two colors. The other plate is a light blue and reddish brown, another interesting contrast representing who i am as an individual. While one plate is very smooth, the other has ridges from my fingers imprinted on itself. These plates give a simplistic look at contrast. Plate dedicated to Aladdin Schirmer. 

My choice project a bowl that is 5 inches by 7 inches. It is almost a perfect circle with a small foot ring. Because I made the walls so thin, it is very light, lighter than it looks. I splattered it in turquoise which fired into a very light green. After it was dipped in clear it created a very faded antique look. I can't believe how many times this bowl ended up on the reject shelf, i put a lot of time into it! Overall the piece gives off a simplistic look that i appreciate. 

My wheel altered project is 3 inches by 4 inches. It started as a round pot until i pulled the sides in to create a wave. i dipped half of it in yellow and half of it in blue which left a green ring around the middle which was a very cool effect. the inside should have been dipped in clear after the bottom cracked and i cemented it together. the general shape is very interesting and the size makes it little and cute!

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 piece on the left is about 8 inches wide and 2 inches high. The half and half glaze gives it a more interesting shape be cause the overlapping are turned a light green color. The bowl in the center is 3 inches by 4 inches with a very even foot ring. I dipped it all in brown and then the rim in yellow which made it look much smaller, in this case cuter (: It cracked coming out of the bisque kiln but stayed strong through the end. The last cup is much taller, 2 inches wide but 6 inches tall almost like a vase but it has more gradual shape. I dipped it in yellow but unfortunately missed a section in the center and didn't realize until it came out of the glaze kiln! I dipped a piece of the rim in brown to give it more interesting features. I like how these pieces came together in as  a FINAL result. 

My wide project is 4 by 8 inches. It got slightly dented when it was in my locker but i think i fixed it pretty well. I splattered it in turquoise paint and then dipped it in clear. Unfortuntely because it was so last minute after my first wide project broke, its not out of the kiln yet! I think that the color will turn out well because i like all the pieces ive splattered so far. I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out!

My project is 4 inches by 5 inches. I only dipped the rim in tomato red glaze and left the rest bisque. I should have glazed the inside clear to make it usable. The foot ring looked perfect until i dropped it coming out of the bisque kiln, theres a small chip in it now. I really like the shape because it flares out slightly at the top to give it a slightly more interesting shape. The colors contrast in a way that adds dimension to the piece.
