These are my two plates, one of which is about 4 inches wide and the other about 5 inches wide. To make these plates I had to practice forming a project on the wheel without pulling the walls. I also practiced using the foam bat to foot. Because the plates are pretty simple I made a more detailed design on them. I painted leaves in the middle and used watercolor glaze to create streaks representing fall winds around them. The glaze work being similar on both the plates creates a sense of unity between them. Also, the watercolor lines around the leaves create a sense of movement on the project. The leaves and colors of the glazes I use create a very fall feel.

My team for making the Franken Pot was Jesiah and Emily. I made the base, Jesiah made the top and Emily attempted to make the middle but was having a hard time so she just made a coil to go in the middle. I put all the pieces together. It is about 7 inches tall and 2 or 3 inches wide. To make this project I had to practice using the calipers to make sure the pieces would fit together. I also practiced choking to get my piece as tall as I could. The darker value of blue glaze contrasts nicely with the lighter blue glaze creating a nice line where they meet in the middle. The line where the two glazes meet really emphasizes the height of the project. The project has two contrasting moods from the two different colors. The darker side has a late night feel but the lighter side gives off the mood of a bright, blue sky.
