2/22/2019 - This is the progress I have continued with my bust in class. I was very very frustrated with the head and face last week so I completely took off the head, reshaped it, fixed the neck, and reattached it. I think that the head looks much much better now and I think that I actually made some good progress in developing the face. The penguin is a piece that I glazed last week and Im extremely happy with how it looks now that its fired. I used a gloss black and gloss maize yellow for the back and head. I used a transparent matte for the front belly part. I think that the contrast is really interesting and gives the piece a bit of personality. I gave it to a friend who really likes penguins.

5/2/2019 - This week my bust finally got finished and I really like the way that it turned out, I really like the glaze i chose a lot. My rectangular plate didnt really work out. It got too dry, so it was hard to add new parts to it, and because I added a huge hole to it, there was really no fixing that once it was dry. I got kind of bored with the rectangular idea and i put it in the slop bucket, rolled a new slab, and ive made a triangular plate. Im keeping with the same concept but not using the exact same construction method. I let this plate set out to dry so hopefully it will become more leather hard over the weekend.

4/25/19 - this week i finished up my set of four and started on my dinner place setting. For the dinner plate i was going to do a rectangle shape and i traced it out to the right size but the clay is too thick. I hope that it will be moist enough to keep flattening. For the four plates I put on a few good coats of transparent gloss glaze over the underglaze and i hope that they turn out good.
