bookholder project

for this project we were asked to create bookends. i decided to go for a brick design with vines and flowers, with a cutout in the middle and crenelations on the top and bottoms. i first made the basic shape of the bookends by putting two slabs together. once they were somewhat hard, i cutout the middle and the ends. i then cut out all the vines and flowers from a slab. finally i made slight indentations to drive home the brick design. finally i glazed the vines and flowers green, but with slightly different greens, and the bricks a darker brown and reddish color that is more like bricks. one of the bookends is older with the darker bricks and the other is relatively new with the light bricks, which i think is cool. im really happy with how this turned out and i think it's one of my better projects this year.
