This bowl is part of my theme which has to do with color mixtures and combinations of glazes. For this one I mixed a random bucket of green glaze (which i later found out was shadow green and yellow and a little of black), and some more shadow green. I also mixed in a little bit of the turquoise and blue green that was left. Those were very watery when they were mixed in so I don't think they did much to contribute to the colors. However, this bowl has a lot of freckles of color within the different aspects of the glaze. These help create points of interest on the surface of the bowl which helps it to look deeper and rounder than it might actually be. This is the lightest bowl I have made so far, and is currently being used as the perfect morning yogurt bowl. It was bent a little in the process of before getting bisqued, as one of the TA's placed it on its lip on top of another off-centered project. However, I will continue to aim for this level of delicateness.
