For this project, our goal was to make two pieces of our choosing, but we had to incorporate an outside material.  My first idea was to create a pot with a string going through it, however, once I drew that out and started thinking about it I began to realize that it was not going to work for me.  With my art, I tend to stear near something that I will be able to use and do something I know I am capable of doing. The idea of these trays came to me from my sister who has lots of trays for her jewelry, and that's where I got the idea. I started out with a simple sketch and an idea that I wanted to put sea glass at the bottom of the tray. Once my trays were finished and ready to glaze, I changed my mind about my alternate material. I had decided that I was going to use resin. Resin would be a better option for me than glass because it would save time and an extra step to finishing my project. 

Overall, I really enjoyed doing this project, and I am very confident that I will be using these trays in my room for my jewelry. if I had to change something with my project, I would probably change the colors of the trays so that they aren't both the same color. I am pleased with the outcome of this project, and I really like how the troops of the trays aren't perfect because it gives it more of a rustic look, which is what I was going for.
