This is what the finished product of the back of my wall relief looks like. Below are the steps I took to make this.

# data[].attributes.body
This image shows the pieces i made for the sides and middle. It took a long time to make these and I messed up over 6 times and had to completely start over. I had a really hard time making the rectangles and rolling them out to be long enough and thin enough without being slanted at the top.

This is the picture of all the pieces I cut out more evenly and the ones ready to be put on my wall relief.

In this image I was outlining where I would be placing these rails and how far in I wanted to place them. I struggled with this a lot. The first time that I had gotten them all outlined and put on I began to slip and score them and once I finished it was the end of the class period. I started cleaning up when I realized that the rails were way farther to one side than they were to the other so I took all of them off cleaned up the piece and restarted outlining and slipping and scoring all over again. At this point I was really frustrated with myself that I hadn’t seen how off center it was. But eventually I got it all on and cleaned up and that is the finished product that you see at the top of this line of pictures.

This is the beginning of the formation of little veins for the heart I was starting to make.

# data[].attributes.body
This picture was supposed to be after the one below it but this is the super vena cava and pulmonary artery and aorta etc. placed to see how they all fit together before I slipped and scored them on.

# data[].attributes.body
This is what the heart looked like while I was beginning the slipping and scoring process, as I was perfecting some of the pieces so that they would all fit together like puzzle pieces when I finished. As I did this I was also defining the left atrium. I used the wooden tool to make an edge and then I used my fingers to smooth it out and then used the sponge to finish it.

# data[].attributes.body
This was me rolling out the pieces and outlining where I wanted them for when I would blend them on. I rolled these pieces out very thin on my board and slightly curved them in different directions. This was hard because originally I was rolling them between my fingers so the clay kept cracking and breaking apart I’m my fingers. I was very frustrated and then I began using the board and they stopped cracking.

This is just another angle

Finally I got the little pieces blended in. I used water to make the clay more moveable and blend able. I also use my index and middle finger to trace over the small lines and blend them into the heart. Overall I was really happy with how this heart turned out. There was a lot of fails and cracking but I just stuck with the process and tried different methods until it finally worked.

# data[].attributes.body
This is where I finally slipped and scored my heart onto the wall relief after hollowing it out. I used slip to cover the back sides of the heart and the wall relief to marry the pieces together.

This is the rectangular piece that I cut out to eventually form a cloud. I saw that the basic shape of a cloud would be a rectangle so I made that first. I also realized I wasn’t able to really add texture or shape to the piece so I decided to slip and score it onto my wall relief before adding detail.

# data[].attributes.body
My first attempt at slipping and scoring the rectangular piece did not work and so you can kind of see in the picture where I had to un attach it, I then had to smooth out the surface again and try to put it on. The first time I did it I felt like there wasn’t enough slip and that I wanted the positioning to be a little different.

# data[].attributes.body
This was me after I had slipped and scored it taking a picture to commemorate the fact that I did not mess up😂. You can see in the picture that I had started using water to begin to blend and add texture to the rectangular piece I attached.

This slab took so so many attempts to make but finally I was able to make it so that there was enough length and width on all sides to cut out my wall relief background, the little dents are from rolling it out on the board because the boards wood had uneven layers. I actually ended up using these dents for my wall relief because that was were I wanted to make a storm with rain and clouds so I used the dents to show texture for the storm.

# data[].attributes.body
This is what it looked like after I added water and began messing around with texture. I liked when the water was on the clay and how much my fingers made more patterns on the clouds. And how the little dents and swirls that make up my finger prints printed themselves and were swirled into the clouds. Every time the clay would dry the prints weren’t showing up as well. Overall in this picture I have no cleaned up the cloud yet.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the cleaned up picture of my clouds, you can see that I tried to add texture with by making the clay more swirled using my fingers and I took a few small chunks out and blended the area back in so that there would be some depth and shadows from different angles. I used the sponge to make the clouds look more cleaned up and smooth

This image is supposed to be up with the other heart pictures but the website keeps messing up the order of images. This is where I began the hollowing out process of my heart. I actually ended up making the hole wider so that I could see better inside after I accidentally poked many holes through my piece.

# data[].attributes.body
This is where I started making the rain for my wall relief, the rain was hard for me because I couldn’t find any examples of rain in ceramics or clay. I looked at actual pictures of rain to try and make my version of rain. When I pictured it in my head I saw little drops and long/short lines. I started just making little balls and small little rolled out pieces and I used water to blend them into the background.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my finished product, I was really happy with the heart and cloud, when I finally finished the rain I wished I had done smaller pieces but I was happy with the overall piece. Below this image is an assortment of pictures that show different angles of the wall relief.

This was the slab that I threw because I forgot that you had a machine that makes perfect slabs. 😭

This is the result of using the template to cut out my mug and cut the sides at a 45 angle and then line of the corners. I slipped and scored the sides Then I used my remaining leftovers from my slab to make the bottom, I put my mug on top of the left over slab and I outlined the bottom and cut it out. Then I slipped and scored it to the bottom.

# data[].attributes.body
This was another picture of my mug before the design was starting to be made for it.

This is how the inside of my cup looked, I used a sponge card to seal the inside at the bottom where the bottom and cup were joined.

In this image I had just flattened a slab to make Ursulas body, trying to copy the images from my pictures I made everything very wide and round. I used my fingers to slowly move the clay to give it curves. After I found a shape that I liked I slipped and scored it to the mug and sealed the edges with a card and sponge.

# data[].attributes.body
Here I began to make a tentacle, this took quite a few tries because the legs kept braking and sometimes when I got them on the mug and situated I would start to blend them and they looked too thin so I would restart.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the finished front design of the mug, I cleaned up the body and blended the tentacles made them a little thicker and added some small rolled pieces for her necklace and created a shell.

# data[].attributes.body
This was the slab that I cut for the mugs handle. This is me in the middle of rounding off the edges with a sponge, at first I didn’t round it enough but I learned to use more force to get them to be really rounded.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the rounded piece, I cut the top and bottom at a 45 angle and added little tentacle suckers to add to the Ursula look. Then I curved it to be a handle.

# data[].attributes.body
After I was content with the handle I then slipped and scored my mug to put the handle on.

# data[].attributes.body
The handle went on really well and it was sealed but then you told me it was too long so we took it off and cut. A lot off , it ended up looking great in the end and had a much better shape that was much more sturdy.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the handle that was fixed and smaller more fitting for my size mug. I slipped and scored it back on. I then sealed it with a sponge and card.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my finished product I shaved down the bottom of the tentacles more so that they would blend with the bottom of the mug more, then I took a wet sponge to clean everything up. I’m pretty happy with how the mug turned out I wish I could keep it.
