For my set of three, I decided to make three bowls. The original intention was to create three blue bowls of similar shape and size with different combinations of blue and green glazes. Though the details are difficult to see in the photos below, the glaze mixtures turned out to be very interesting and original. One of the blue ones was mixed with a blue color with spots and speckles in it, which creates this pattern on the inside of the bowl that is almost reminiscent of a night sky or photos of a galaxy. The other two had differing variations of thicknesses within the glazes that I mixed, and thus layered on top of eachother in very interesting ways. They often streaked down the bodies of the bowls in such a way that leads to the center of the project. This accentuates the curvatures of these bowls and draws attentions to the shape of the project. I do however, wish that the green bowl glaze mixture had turned out more blue, as it would have matched the rest of the set better. However, they do still go together as they are all glazed cool colors and have similar shapes and sizes. Over all, I am very pleased with the outcome of these, as each bowl I made got progressively better than the last.
