In progressFinished pieceSuccessesDifficultiesA difficulty I had was definitely trying to layer on the paper mache to make it smooth. It was hard to make each layer even and trying to get all the paper towels to stick down to the piece. That was my biggest struggle. I also wish I could have made a better color for the dogs fur. I was trying to create a yellow lab but it was a bit too yellow and needed it be toned down.

In progressInspirationI got the idea for my sgraffito piece from just the idea of flowers. I wanted to have a lot of flowers in my piece because I just think it represents sgraffito well. Flowers tell a good story so that is where my inspiration came from. I got my idea from making flowers abstract. I added the flowers and then just a lot of abstract elements to complete my design. ProcessThe process of my piece started with using clay to make a coil cup. I did the coils and smoothed them down to the cup. After I let it dry to leather hard and glazed it with the dark blue glaze. I then carved in my sgraffito design. Finished pieceProcessFor the process of my sgraffito piece I started by making a clay coil piece. After coiling it then smoothing it i let it dry to leather hard. I then glazed it and made my sgraffito design. Next my cup went into the kilm and was fired. After firing I put on clear glaze and it was fired again to finish. What did I think of the process?The sgraffito process was very straightforward and pretty easy. I liked that we glazed it and put the design on before firing it because I think it made the process a bit easier. It was kind of challenging to put the design in the cup but all around I didn’t have trouble with it. successes/changesI believe my piece was successful because I was able to create a nice piece that came out looking like it was supposed to. I really liked my design and the dark blue color i used. If I were to change it I would work on making my piece smoother. Coiling is a little challenging trying to make the piece smooth so I might try to make it on the wheel or work on my coiling.
