This is my baseline project, it's a magnet. I have always loved flowers and it's one of my favorite things to make with art. The color pops and it's a fun shape to look at. I've painted and drawn these types of flowers before. It reminds me of tropical. I started by making the pedal individual. Then added them onto a flat piece of clay to hold it together, and smoothed it out. I curled up the end parts and added the middle. I had to roll up little balls to add. Once it was fired I was debating on paint or glaze. I like the glazed look and feel but I used paint for the color. I painted it pink added glitter paint, and added yellow to the middle. Once the paint dried I used a spray to make it shiny and secure it. Being able to make a flower instead of just drawing and painting it 2D I'm able to make it 3D. If I started over I would change the way the paint goes and add more shading and lighting in certain places. It has more of a realistic look rather than a fake one. I tried to make the shape close to an actual flower.
