Firing ticket

Planning/description: I made a coaster so I can use it to put drinks on it. I made a flat slab and used a pencil to draw and outline the little character cartoons. I used an assortment of colors to color these cute cartoons. I Really like the different colors and the outlining of the the two bunnies and their scarfs are different colors. What I would change is that its not that flat on the top, theres some bumps. I should have sanded it down and made it smooth. I like the greeen color I chose for the background but thr black eye is hard to see with the dark indigo bunny color 

Planning: I wanted  to make a frog, that was opening its mouth very wide with a tongue sticking out. Description:  I hollowed out the middle and made it its mouth and added eyes that are wide open. I am going to use it as a paper weight or I can even put paper clips or thumb tacks inside of it. I slipped and scored the eye balls and tongue on and indented the eyeballs to have a different color inside. I used black inside the mouth to make the depth look very deep and dark.  Reflection: I like how the mouth came out and how its hollow. I like the tongue sticking out. But I wish I didn't use all the colors I did. I should have planned the layout better with the eyelids and color scheme. I didn't know how the orange color was going to come out exactly, so i should have used a red color .

this is my stamp. I drew a flower on the top . I haven't painted it yet but I still can. I made the shape smaller at the bottom and then skinnier in the middle and then a flat top with the indented drawing that will leave a nice flower stamp. I like the flower i drew. It is simple but I think it is cute. What I could have done better is making the sides smoother and not bumpy. Also having the sides of each even and more presentable. 

ummm so this is my face. it was a total fail and I threw it in the slap bucket. I did this because making face sculptures is one of my weaknesses and Im struggling to learn how to create face features. i did not know how to make a nose that had realistic nostrils, or eye balls  that had eyelids and nice looking eyeballs. next time I really want to make a good face that is realistic looking that I can fire and paint really well.
