Abby's Art

Above is a video of my candle holder before I broke it and became very depressed. This is my candle holder after it was fired. I am very pleased with how it came out. I love how the purple gets darker in the holes and in the "stems". If  i could redo this project I would sand it a little light so I would not break it!

For my coil pot I wanted it to make it look like there are flowers going up the pot. To do this I had big swirls at the bottom of the pot and slowly made them smaller as it got to the top of the pot. If I could do something different I would have used a lighter green on my straight coils and used a lighter purple. I also would have gotten more in the creases with the glaze. Overall I am proud of the outcome of my pot.

For this project I made a cactus. First I used the pinch pot method to make the base. Then I used a wooden tool to create the texture on the sides, and to cut out the petals for the flower. Once it was  fired I added about 3 layers of glaze to make the colors pop. Overall I am happy with how the cactus turned out. If I were to make it again I would probably make the sides look more rough where the spikes would be.
