Skyler Tipton “Mask”

6 x 4 x 2.5”, clay, 2017

I decided to make a mask because I thought it would look good if I made it look realistic. I made this by rolling out a slab of clay and then I put it on the mask and let it dry then I took it off and put it in the kilim and then I glazed it. If I could do something else I would use a deferent color paint and try harder painting it cause I didn’t look that good with yellow. My favorite part is the way that I made the eyes because it looks realistic.

Skyler Tipton “Green frog”

6 x 4 x 3.5”, Mold, 2017

I decided to do the frog because I thought It looked cool and I like frogs so I thought it would be a good idea. I made this by making slip and then I poured into a frog mold. If I could change something I would use a different paint for the eyes because the white on the frog’s eyes looked dried up. My favorite part is the color I chose for the frog’s body because I like the green that I used and I think it was a good color to use.
