My next addition to this will be a square cup that will have the same ombre look as this bowl. Lastly is a plate, which doesn't actually have any different shape but will be colored the same.
I've decided for my set of three to do different shapes and with that make them (what I believe is) a wheel altered project. This is a bowl that was kind of made to look more like a flower, or coral. I decided to do something different with the color and was attempting an ombre look. It went from red, to pink, and then lastly to white. Although it didn't turn out that way I still really like how it looks. My next addition to this will be a square cup that will have the same ombre look as this bowl. Lastly is a plate, which doesn't actually have any different shape but will be colored the same. This one was not altered, but it is part of the set of three. This is a plate bigger than my other ones and has the same coloring as the others. This is a square cup, about the size of a normal mug. The handle does have a crack where it was attached.

I really wanted to try and make another big bowl. This is off-center though and doesn't have all that great of a foot. But for being one of the first bigger bowls I've made, it's alright. I tried the blue and white color differences again and it worked A LOT better this time. Below is another picture with a filter that helps show the different colors, or rather how many there are. The glaze did end up running a lot though so it did stick to the shelf. This is one of the first big bowls I attempted to make. It isn't very big but it's a start. When I was footing it, I guess it wasn't completely dry/ready to be foot so that made it off-center more. I glazed 'oops' on it because it kind of turned out to be an 'oops' bowl. This idea was inspired by Faith, although she just wrote 'oops' on the bottom, I decided to write it on the actual bowl to kind of remind myself that not all my projects will turn out 'perfect' but that I am learning and improving my skills... little by little. I forgot I had this bowl, it's nicely done though. Although it is small, it's not off-center and has a uniform thickness. I was trying to make some color variation on it though, which didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. I saw this amazing vase where it had different shades of blue as well as some white. There was a little bit of color difference, but not much. I didn't really make these two plates a set or glaze them the same but decided to put both in one post.
They're both the same size. The first one is painted black and purple strips. I think it shows a contrast between the design and general shape of a plate. The second plate was just painted white and blue, only the white didn't show up as much. This is a very small bowl I made from seamix. It's so small because this was the first time I used seamix and heard it was supposed to be very hard to use. I made this for my Momma. When looking through my old baby stuff, she pointed out a small plate about the size of an outlet covering that I made in 2005. It was painted pink, underneath it was white. I decided, 10 years later, in 2015 to make another. She really liked it and kept, basically, petting it for lack of better words. She said "it's so smooth!". I guess the other one from 2005 was very sharp and rough around the edges. Rubric: The bowl is only 2" tall and about 5" wide. I'd give myself a four here. The foot ring on this one was also a little off-center because again, it wasn't dry enough to foot. I'd give myself a three here. The lip is compressed the lip and the base so I'd give myself a four here. The glaze could have been done a little better but it does look nice with the white, I'd give myself a four here. The design is unified, although the glaze could have been done better, but I'd give myself a four here. |
