Project of Choice

This was my project of choice and I choose to do a Halloween themed because it was October. I choose to do this doing the pinch pot method. I did a pumpkin with a cat and a snake with eggs. You can also see the lines I did and stitches.

Slab Box

This is my slab box that I remade due to my last one exploding. This project to me was confusing yet a bit difficult when it came to putting the walls together but I can honestly say that making this taught me a lot as a newly slab user. 

Slab 3 Footed Cylinder

This is my 3 footed cylinder and the difficulty I found in doing this project was putting it together. As you can see my slab does slant a bit and that was due to the issue I had. Overall, this project was fun to make and challenged me and my abilities. 

Alebrije

For my alebrije I decided to do a turtle because this was my cousin's favorite animal. I truly enjoyed making this and I also really enjoyed making the designs on the turtle! You can also see numbers on the turtle's flippers and that is the day I lost my cousin. As for the designs I kind of just went with the flow and added as I went.

Sgrafitto Six-Word Memoir Pinch Pot

This was first time ever making a pinch pot and the difficulty found in this project to me was maintaining the same thickness throughout. As you can see I also have words and drawings around and that is my memoir.  I went more with the theme of success because I hope to graduate and go to college for makeup and social working. The butterfly in the middle signifies growth and development.

Coil Pot

 For my coil pot project, I decided to do a beehive and paint it a bright yellow. I decided to add a bee and a pattern of balls in between the coils but as you can see I only did that twice in the coils. I feel that I successfully did this but making the coils was a bit of a challenge because they would crack in the making.
