I didn't make a lot this week, but I glazed a TON! and I got a lot done. Monday, I made two plates to add to my collection; they are pretty thin, but I really like them. Tuesday I was home sick, and wednesday and thursday I spent all period glazing and footing my plates. Also, Rachel was home all week so I had to glaze her projects as well, and I had to scrape the bottom of the buckets to get the glaze out because there was hardly any turquoise OR dark blue left! SO ANNOYING! Mrs. Heideman, we need more glazes please, and thank you! I glazed a couple of my projects with a white and purple, and the white turned out wayy to thin so I re-glazed them, and the purple didn't turn out at all! So I re-glazed those as well... but they still didn't turn out! Third times the charm I guess. Also, I glazed the three projects I made last week a shadow green, and they turned out quite nicely. They're soo cute! Lastly, I glazed more of my projects the blue-turquoise combo, but I ended up glazing them a second time to get more of the pretty green overlap color. It was a long week. 

This week we had the Sophomores taking the HSPE so our schedule was all messed up. On monday I made the project in the middle (below) and because I forgot that we had no class tuesday, when I went to foot it on wednesday it was all dry. We had class for over an hour though on wednesday and I made two projects (the ones on the left and right) and I meant for them to be mugs, yet they also dried overnight even and by thursday they were hopeless, and I couldn't foot them. So, all three look similar and none of them have foot rings, but I actually like them how they are. They're not too thick either, so they'll look nice in my growing collection!

I didn't produce much this week, but I finished my tea pot! I made the spout and the handle and attached them both, and I decorated around the lid with little flowers. I was going to pull some clay and decorate the lid as well to make it easier to take off, like a handle, but the clay was too hard and it wouldn't have worked too well. But I'm still really happy with how it turned out, being my first one and all! Also this week, I finally got around to glazing a couple of my projects. I went with the dark blue and the turquoise overlapping, and it turned out looking awesome I think. I want all the projects I make to be a set, so I'm glazing them all similarly, and I'm excited to see how everything else I make and glaze will all look! Now I just need to start on making a bunch of plates...

This week was great! I asked Mrs. Heidz what I should make, and she said to make a two piece project. So I first made a little pot, and made my first lid with a whole in the top, and it turned out alright, so I felt pretty good about it. But I've really been wanting to make a teapot, so I manned up and decided to try one! My bowl/pot turned out really well, and I made a planter type lid that fits perfectlyy on top of it! Next week I'm gonna make the handle and the spout and attach them. I tried to make a spout today but I didn't have much time, so it didn't work. Also this week the bisk kiln came out!!!! I was afraid the handle would fall off of my pitcher but all but two of my projects were successfully bisked and are now ready to glaze!
