Feather bowl

I have published a picture of this already, but this is the final outcome, on top of what I did to the bowl I added manganese oxide and bitter honey glaze, I love how it turned out because it looks old and rustic with some of the slip coming off and revealing the white clay underneath giving me the yellow colour, the oxide has made the feathers tinted blue and the effect makes it look stand out and 3D. If I were to do this again I would keep the pattern I have but I think I would have tried out different colours to glaze it with.

Plaster Mould

    This is one of the first outcomes I did in year two, to do this I started to press certain objects from my red project into clay. I choose a Christmas light, a pin scissors and a knitting needle. Then once I built up the walls I poured plaster into my mold it came out like this, but to make the objects stand out I sanded down the objects so they look white against the red clay that got stuck onto my plaster mold to make it look more professional. I then cut off the edges to leave a square around it. This outcome is one of my favorites so far because I love how rustic it looks. I think that if I did this again I would try different objects to see if I could get better molds.
