After my next fire i plan to paint over to give the colors more of a pop then fire one more time. I plan for this to hold cookies and candy. painting it and physically putting the mug together was easy and went smooth with no complications, but when I was trying to carve the leaf and apples out of the side of the mug it was really hard to smooth them out and I could never really tell how deep in the clay I was so I ended up going straight through a few times.
My final question are on here. (will post it fired it will just be on the top.)_ I really like how the yellow came out and how the indents look i think it the button was also so cute. I wish i made it a little smaller because i its really heavy and wish i painted it clear glaze to. anyone walking into this project i would say make sure you know the size you want and make sure to use water when making the shape and remember that there is such thing as clear glaze.

you said you took final pictures of it for me because you took it for the show and you never sent them so i am guessing i am fine so i am going to do the questions on this one. I like the color and the hearts on them i think they made it very nice and soft to the eye. I wish i didnt put the balls on it and made the whole thing purple. to anyone walking into this project all i could say is make sure you do measurements and make sure its straight and think about the design and color before hand.
i plan to fire it at this point than repaint and fire one more time. I hope it turns into a fall frame with a cozy painting in the middle. the painting part it going as planned there colors are perfect and will give it a light look while still matching fall themes. I had difficulty with an even boarder and my piece kept breaking, but it kinda look intentional so I am ok with it.
put indents in the clay then fold it. the designs come out perfectly. but when folding the clay cracks.
the craziness of the piece made it all put together. probably made more precise cuts. don't try and make everything perfect because nothing in life is perfect.
