Now I never got to check Tuesday, to see if two of my pots have been fired completely, but one of mine did. I know it's my fault, despite the fact that they pout in my small one but not the other two. So it caused some trouble in getting them in the first time. But whatever.
This is my first pot, it reads 
"so many books, so little time"
It stands for the fact that, no matter how long to how many people, life is still short. There's so much to do in life no matter who you are, you just aren't given the time to do all of it. 
This is the second pot I made it says
"A shelf without books, is like a body without a soul"
This ones more about reading, the fact that we can't do everything in the world we might want to, sometimes reading can help us out with that little issue. Reading books can take your imagination just about anywhere and everywhere. It all depends on the mind and body.
My final pot. Saying
"You only live once but if you do it right, once is enough"
This is pretty much my favorite one, saying that even though we once live once, if you enjoy life and live it well once is enough even with our mistakes and everything, you could live yet still like it. No one can tell you that it's not worth living as long as your happy. Living a good healthy life is something everyone wants and a happy life is something you have to give yourself.

Bass Wood

I took three pictures of the progress this was the beginning of carving. I didn't do the very best on this. But I'm mostly proud that it doesn't look totally horrible. 

It's meant to be a lizard, and fire??  I saw a picture that looked alike to this and liked it. I like the way it looked and decided to do that for my project.

This is my final project, it's not entirely dry I don't think, but honestly I don't know, I kind of like it though. I kind of think I should've left it how it was originally, with the regular bass wood but I chose to cover it and am mostly satisfied with it.

Plaster



This is my plaster project, I had more plans for it, I wanted the center to be a circle, but it ended out a pillar after I realized how I messed up. It's not the best, I don't entirely understand how abstract works, or how to properly plan it out.  But this is the outcome for it and I'm slightly proud but at the same time disappointed. I could've done better, but I was out for a week and couldn't do a whole lot.

Finished slab

The two pieces were fired in and mostly melted by the kilns malfunction, the one on the right has pegs stuck in the bottom of it that I can't remove. The brown one did have one stuck in it, but I was able to get it out. I honestly had no use for these pieces, I just gave the brown one to my step-step-dad, and e, green thing to amber. Well she asked for it soooo. Yeah :33

For our slab art pots wereally easier and so far I just slapped some clay together, but not enough to make it go around in a proper circle. Instead I pressed it together the way it was, so it wouldn't combine into a full potential and got this master peice!



The other one was put together with two pieces and pressed together. To get that second master piece.

Coil part so far

It came out of the kiln and I also had a chance to glaze it before putting it back in the kiln to fire it again. I used milky way for the outside color glaze of it and Robin's egg for the inside, and i kind of just sprinkled it on the outside a little bit.

I simply made multiple little balls and put it around, originally I was going to make a small well. But I wasn't able to complete the wooden roof and sticks to hold it up, fearing it would crush together. The bottom of it was coiled to make a solid, flat bottom. I didnt get any other pictures of it after I sent it to the kiln, (I know, very forgetful) but after I get it back I'm thinking about either painting it, or just sending it back.
