Day 29

Little ugly plant pot

You can see that I didn't put much effort in this one.

It's a small, ugly cactus pot but I hope for some pretty cactus in it 

so it will make a balance :)

Honestly,

 I really don't remember what clay this is because I didn't updated blog

exactly the same day

and I forgot it in the meanwhile.

I think it is the brown clay but we will see after the firing. :)

UPDATE: Fired

Day 20

Hanging birdhouse

I was so enthusiastic about making a birdhouse!

I wanted to make it for a long time but each time when I was going to do it

 the flow took me in some other direction.

I must say that I didn't do any measurements or planning and I didn't  

took into consideration some things like drainage and ventilation.

This is my first so I forgive myself for

 being careless about those things and I let it be the way it is.

Next time I will make a little research about all the things that I need 
to think about when doing a birdhouse.

Day 18

Cactus pot

I started by decorating it with engobe. 

Same as yesterday, I will do some mishima.

It's not finished yet.

UPDATE: Fired pot

Same as yesterday, no mishima because 

it was difficult for me to sand the surface cause this clay is with chamotte and it started to break on the spots where I carved it. 

Day 15

Carved pot

I mixed together brown and pink clay and started with some simple shape.

I liked it that way so I left it to dry.

When it almost completely dried

 I decided to do some carving. 

Lucky me.

It turned out just fine but I could save some time and effort 

by doing it in a leather hard stage.

It would be soooo much easier.
