This week I was making a losses project. I made it out of porcilen and was going to make a teapot. I made the pot, lid, and spout but then I decided to just make a lidded pot. The lid and the pot both ended getting chipped so I made it in to a honey pot with a place to put a spoon.

This week I have been making mostly cups. I really enjoy using the porcelain because it is so soft and how white and clean they look when they are finished, witch fits perfectly in what my theme is for this semester! I am going to put glass on one of the porcelain cups I made because I really like the affect it creates, with the other cup I am going to stain something on to it..  
 
Last week I made three bowls and a cup out of red clay. They came out to day! I love the way they look. In the glaze the red clay turns a dark brown. 
Yesterday I made two cups out of porcelain I really liked using and I am excited to see how they turn out.
 
I have been thinking a lot about theme and what my theme could be. I noticed that all my projects are very simple. I do not add a lot of decorative prices or stain patterns on. I like that my projects are more about the shape of the object and not additional prices. The projects that I do add things I try to keep it to a minim and have it complement the shape of the project. My theme is simplicity.
