This is a firm slab project that I created a couple weeks into the semester. I originally had no idea what I intended to use if for or what direction it was going to take. Then this week I decided I finally ought to glaze it because it had been sitting in my locker for a couple months. I decided to use the shadow green because I love the luster of the glaze, and also I felt that the dark green color is reminiscent of woods and organic things, which works with the floral decoration on the side of it. I carved the back plane down so that the flower would stand higher and be in the foreground, and further accentuated it by wiping the glaze from it and leaving it in the cracks of the details. I sculpted the lip at Mrs. Heideman's suggestion, and I think that it makes for a much more interesting project. My mother will probably use this for flowers or something. If I could change anything, I would probably make the sides more neat and put more time into the details of it.
