3/9/2019 - I'm finally completely done with the sculpting of my bust and i carved it out and left it to dry and be fired. I still think his head looks wonky but that alright. I also made this cup on the wheel. I really want my matching set with scraffito and relief to be made with thrown pieces. I'm not sure that I'm going to make this piece one of the series because I think I want to experiment a bit more. I'm thinking about covering this in one of the crystaltex glazes and maybe a second color for the small part on the bottom. I'm also thinking about adding a handle to this cup to make it a little more interesting.

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.
