This project is a a tall flower vase. It has a narrow base, which widens towards the center of the project; the walls then move up in a straight line, where they flay out on the top of the project, creating a wide lip. The glaze on this project is very unique compared to my other projects as I chose to use painted on glazes instead of dipping the project entirely in a glaze bucket. The project was first dipped in clear glaze, followed by white glaze which ran to the center of the project. I then painted on strokes of pink, red, and green glaze on the upper half of the project; which created the running colors effect. The distinct movement is shown where the viewers eyes are directed to the strokes of colored glaze, which contrasts the uniform white glaze underneath. The bubbles present in the colored glaze create visible texture that the viewer can see. The biggest skill that I have learned with this project is how to use the painted glazes to create melting effects on my projects. However I still need to learn how to balance the glazes to where I can paint distinct shapes.My favorite thing by far on this project is the colored glazes that seem to melt down my project.
