This project is a bowl, intended for donation for the food bank program. I did not account for how much this bowl would shrink, and thus is came out very small! The surface decoration is not something I am indeed very fond of. The colors were not labeled when I glazed this, and so it was kind of an experimental glazing job. I personally think that the green glaze splattered would have looked much better if not for being a green color that is slightly reminiscent of mold. The inside of the project ended up being a lot shinier than the outside, and looks much nicer, as it has a much more manageable amount of glaze. I liked the freckled color as the base coat of the project, but if I had known the top splatter color was green, I would have done something different to further accentuate the color and speckles of the base glaze. I feel like the structure of this bowl, although small, is very good and I am proud of the thinness of the edges and the even-ness of the bottom of the project. While the glazing did not do much for the aestheic appeal of the bowl, I feel like the bowl itself is of good quality and I am pleased with it.
