This box was took a long time to make because I had to paint around each carved out star. I am proud of it and I like the sides of the lid with holes and the paint on the edges. I was going to have the sky fade from dark to light, but that would have took too much time. If I would fix anything I would fade the trunk of the tree better. I really liked this project and it challenged me.

For this project I decided to do a fried egg. It was fun carving it out and making all the thin curves on it. I also enjoyed painting it and trying to make it as realistic as I could. It was difficult to paint the edges a crispy color because I couldnt make the foam any thinner. I had a really fun time trying to make this egg look as realistic as I could.

I had a lot of fun making this raku flower vase. The actual construction of the vase was fun. Trying to make it the perfect angles, shapes and size took a lot of time, but it was so worth it. I enjoyed making the design also and it took a lot of attempts, but I really liked it in the end. The painting was also interesting because the color that was picked wasnt going to look the same as when you put it on. I really like the colors that it turned out to be. The firing was a very cool experience and I am glad I had the chance to do it!

For this project, we had to create a personal logo that had our initials and something about us that made it personal. I did my initials S.H. and a sun. I also painted mountains, a beach and a sunset. This project was very fun and I enjoyed it! My favorite part was either figuring out what shape I was going to do or painting it. Even though I did this at home, I enjoyed it. I missed being at school with some help from Mr. Langmaack though.
