9"x9" Clay and Glaze 2019
I originally was going to have it say "Sub to Pewds" on the front but I didn't like that idea after a while. This is the first time I put handles on any of my pieces and that really shows. A challenge I faced was when the top of the left handle broke off after I fired it at first, but I put a piece of clay in-between the handle and the wall and glazed over it and it seems to be ok for the time being. I would glaze it more, even though I put 3 coats on, the glaze wasn't thick enough for me. I love the pattern because it represents PewDiePie's youtube banner.

4x3.5, 4x3.2, 4x3 Clay, Glaze 2019
I wanted to take a bunch of stuff from PewDiePie’s youtube channel so I made merchandise for 2 of his “shows” and one is the pattern of stripes from his banner. A challenge I faced was being sick for a week and I couldn’t come back to work with my clay so my clay got hard and it was harder to attach stuff to, but I still was able to score and slip through it. I would make them bigger if I started over because they are kind of small. I like how the patterns and the letters turned out because I expected them to be a mess.

Lego, iMovie, iPhone 8 camera, masking tape. 2019
I obvisouly used lego and the camera but I also used masking tape to mark my camera postions on the counter and to hold the droids in place. I took 166 pictures and made them all .1 seconds long in imovie, so it's 10 frames per second. I had to change the length of each picture manually from 4 seconds to .1 and that caused it to go from being 10 minutes long to 22 seconds long. Something new I tried was editing with iMovie, it's more tedious than other software I've used in the past. A challenge I faced was getting the driods to stay still because they kept falling over whenever I moved their guns, but then I used tape to keep them in place. I would change the explosion at the end because I feel like I could have done that better. I love the first parts with the splashing looking pieces that appear before they ignite their lightsabers, shoot, and deflect shots.
