-Paint with underglaze with 3 coats and blow dry
-Sketch out plan for starfish
-Carve starfish
-Fire then clear glaze
For this piece I used smooth sculpture and I just wanted to make a plate. I could've made this better by making it thicker so it would have support on the sides. I didn't use this slump mold because I didn't have a plan to use it, I also didn't use a bag under it so it stuck to the plate.
Relief Carving
For this piece I used smooth sculpture and the underglaze royal blue. I really like this piece, I tried to make it simple enough to where I wouldn't mess it up but I also tried to make it cute so I could use it. If I were to make this again I would spend more time on the carving and cleaning it up.
