I made all six of these projects in one day, and I was so proud of myself. I mixed different variations of the blue glaze with a little extra of the blue-green color in proportion to everything else. The different levels and thicknesses of the glazes created really interesting spots and thick places within the planes of the project. However, some of the glazes were a little watery when I combined them, which created an interesting thin layer of glaze on most of the projects. This allows for the throwing marks of the bowls to show through the glaze, which aids the shape of some of the bowls to appear to have more width and depth. The sea green color that it became was very unique and unlike other glaze combinations that I had seen before. The speckles in one of the glazes I used also showed through in very interesting ways underneath the darker blue colors that appear in streaks on some of the projects. Overall, I am very pleased with these projects, as even though none of them were required, I am growing increasingly in my ability to throw things quickly and effectively, and also fine tuning my artistic and creative skills.
