for the plate, i learned that i need to have patience cause i tend to rush things which mess them up like taking it off the wheel and the wire cut through when it was leather dry and putting on slit and it messed up so i made another without, but what i learned was i need to have more patience when taking things off and making them

for my plate, i did have connor pose for the photo, this is the bottom of it, it ended up getting bone dried cause i didn’t cover it and wasn’t here but i was able to shave the bottom to make it sit right

# data[].attributes.body
this is the top of the bowl, not sure how it chipped though cause it was on my shelf, but for this it took me a few tries cause each time i messed up either making it or taking it off and it cut through

# data[].attributes.body
what i learned for this is that you need to be sure of the designs that you want so that way you don’t end up hating it or redoing it, and to make sure to pick the right color glaze so everything shows well and so it doesn’t drip all over and end up how you didn’t want it to

For a few bowls i wanted to try and make some ramen bowls to once i made the bowl i cut so parts on the top to hold the chopsticks and then i glazed it as little red flowers

# data[].attributes.body
For this bowl i did the same as the previous chopstick bowl but instead it was glazed with eyes in the outside and multiple on the inside

# data[].attributes.body
for this i wanted to go for a regular small bowl so when i was making it i sort of pulled out the lip of the bowl to give it that look the smoothed it so it would stay

# data[].attributes.body
For this bowl i sort of pushed in the sides so it kinda looks flowey and for the glaze i used a black base and a robins egg top

# data[].attributes.body
for my last bowl i did another ramen bowl with chopstick holds and i wanted to do a mushroom like glaze to make it look like a mushroom

this was the start of me making the mug and it had taken a long time to center

# data[].attributes.body
in this clip i was still attempting the center it after not doing it for a while and then once i got it i was able to form my mug into its shape

# data[].attributes.body
from then on i decided to do this handmade handle where you roll out 3 pieces of clay and then you french braid them to give it a vine like effect

# data[].attributes.body
while the handle was still in the process of making i added flower petal to make a flower petal mug

# data[].attributes.body
once i made the flower petals i added the handle to my mug
i would say the most difficult thing was time management and figuring out the placements for the metal and the handle
one thing that i did learn from this is not to procrastinate or spend too much time on one thing or else it won’t get done

The ending results of my masked looked like this, and what i learned is that even though you may not like the beginning of the mask and how it looks, it is important to shrive through because the ending results will blow you away

# data[].attributes.body
I had ended up fixing the mouth and made some horn for my mask to give it charcter

# data[].attributes.body
From then i decided to remove the mouth because of how thin the lips were and i didn't like that, i carved out the design of the mask to make it more easier to the point it adds more feature to it, and i noticed the mask looked plane so i had cut out some stars too add on the cheeks

# data[].attributes.body
I then fixed the nose and added a point like feature on the tip of it, i continued to make the mouth next as for it would be an eye, (this is because the eyes will be blacked out and the mouth is like the open point)

# data[].attributes.body
I later started to form a nose, as this nose is not complete it was the start of it as to having a structure and image of how it starts out

# data[].attributes.body
From then on i pushed in the clay to make eye sockets and i added more depth to the mask to show that it is a mask

# data[].attributes.body
For the start of this mask i made a almost circular face and from then i had started adding my mask design onto the mask, with that i used a needle tool to help me outline the area and to make the design

# data[].attributes.body
what i learned form this is that it’s better to take risk and not complete it than to just go simple. my favorite part about this skull would have to be the cheek bones cause it really defines the whole structure of the face and like the half way point

# data[].attributes.body
as the start of it i made a ball or clay then i added a banana like piece of clay with slit on it  to give it more of the skull like feature, from there i rounded out the eyes by going in then out and around, once the eyes were done then i made the nose as a lining for the cheek bones and mouth, once that was done i began with the cheek bones by using a skull model to get the right proportions of in in order to being with the mouth of the skull.
from there i will make the mouth of the skull and if needed add a neck to it to maybe help it stand up better and carving a hole at the top of the skull and somewhat of a door like shape going down to give better access of getting the tools

# data[].attributes.body
this is part of my inspiration of my skull tool holder as it hard originally came from a male docent mug my sister got my mom and i just thought wow it would be cool if i made a skull one in my ceramic class as a tool holder and i just went for it

# data[].attributes.body
this is the second picture i took, i mainly focused on the check bones of it in order to actually begin with the mouth of the skull

# data[].attributes.body
this is the first picture of my skull, in this i mainly focused on the head and the eyes but adding more clay to the top and for the eyes by pushing in then out and then going around and if needed adding more clay to it
