I've finally finished my scraffito pot! i really enjoyed this project. For glazing i used the Velvet Blue underglaze and then used the colors yellow and red for the designs. i also mixed light red with yellow to get a orangish color for the flame designs on the pot. these colors were all brushed on. afterwards i dumped my piece in transparent to get that shiny look.
i have also finished making my two vases, and am currently working on my eiffel tower tea pot! i'm excited to see how it turns out!
The Teapot Project:
1) I had never hallowed out a piece of clay before so that was definitely one of the skills that i had to learn. especially in using the right tool for hallowing.
2) I came up with the idea of the eiffel tower teapot from looking at the 500 teapots book. there was a piece that had 4 legs and was tilted at the top and i loved the shape. so by looking at that i came up with the idea of making a eiffel tower with a tilted top for the spout.
3) The principle of design that is showcased in this project is movement because the thing that i'm most focused on while working on the project was the top and how i tilted it to make an awesome/original eiffel tower! i absolutely loved making this piece and can't wait to see the final look!
