I glazed my pie plate and it turned out faabulous!! So I decided to make another one!!! and this one is twice as good! I flared the lip out a little more which looks better and the sides are a little taller I think and its wider. Also I randomly decided to make a really big cylinder and ended up making a vase out of it. It was really scary pulling up the walls that high but I did it and Mrs. Heideman helped my shape it into a vase so I didn't completely destroy it!
This week I finally got around to making my cake plate! I didn't realize that it was basically just an upside down planter so I made mine in two pieces. I made a pie plate type thing and a cylinder with no bottom and attatched the two on the wheel. It's not very large but it is kind of top heavy but I don't care. Its awesome! I also carved a spiral into the top of it for design. Also this week I made a mug and attached a handle to it. I butchered it on the foot ring though so I don't like it very much.. and I made a small bowl that was a failed attempt at making a very large bowl. Oh well. Next week. Also this week I glazed my tea pot!!!!! I love it so much! I had no idea what color scheme to do but I love how it turned out. I just wish the clear hadn't crawled :(
This week I finally got to make my first pie plate and it turned out perfectly! I was really excited about it. I even was able to foot it perfectly and everything! I also made another plate that was wayy better than my previous two. I lifted up the lip more so it was a deeper plate and I like this a lot more. Also I was able to foot it. Both these projects are fairly thin and don't weigh a lot as well so they seem very professional. Now I just can't mess up the glazing. I also glazed my other two plates all white with blue dips on the edges which turned out to look really good. Maybe I'll do that for these two as well.
