Double Pinch Pot Apple


1. The most successful thing about my project was the structure. I like my execution about the smoothing. It is by far my best project. My leaf is very cute and stem is adorable. The colors blend well together. The cut was clean and slick. 
2. The most challenging was probably making the first hole in the project. Since I have nails it was a little difficult to not make another mark at the bottom. It was also difficult to not paint the wrong part of the apple. I used 4 different colors and I didn't want t mix it. 
3. I learned how to be more clean with my cut. I picked a simple project so it would be easier to perfect. I really liked this project and hope to continue to make my projects as good as this one. 
4. I give myself an A-  I really enjoyed this project and I believed I executed it well.

Slab box house



1.  The most successful part of the project was my decorations. I really enjoyed adding the decorations to my house. It made it more cheerful and happy. 
2.  The most challenging part was assembling the house. I hated smoothing it becasue it was difficult to smooth when I had a pattern. 
3.  To help me in the future I am getting better at putting pieces together gradually. 



Slab box

1. The most successful part of my box was the pattern on top of the box. I like that decoration I used. 
2.the most challenging was assembling the box. I find it difficult to smooth corners so I has a little bit of difficulty with that. 
3.  This project helped me learn how to assemble things better. I need to learn how to cut out the squares more perfectly. I will better understand how to cut it better in the future. I enjoyed this project.

Pinch pot final


The most successful part of the lproject was sapping the wings. I really enjoyed cutting out the wings. I likes the stinger of the bee as well.i enjoyed cutting out the wings because it was fun matching it to the project 

The most challenging aspect was making the pinch pot because I had nails on that we're making the project difficult to mold. My project is not standing up as well.i seem to have an issue with glazing. I also don't like how the paint is dripping. 

The skills I need to work on is neat ness because my project isn't as smooth. I am always having. A difficult time smoothing project. I need to work on not getting my nails done when getting ready to do a pinch pot. 

I give myself 
5/5 for requiremu
3/5 for craftsmanship 
4/5 for creativity of thinking I'd a bumblebee 
5/5 for participating 
4/5 for exiqution

I believe the most successful part of the name tile would be shape of the letters plastered on the center of the project. I cut the letters carefully and decided to use all capitals. Using capital letters made the project look more definite and clean. I really like the colors I used to plaint the letters. It flows well together. I made my project simple so I could try my best to perfect it. 

The most challenging aspect of the name tile would be the glazing to me. I had a difficult time painting the letters and the background different colors because they kept mixing together. It made it look messy and not clean. I wish I didn't press the background so hard because it took a little of the clay off of the project causing distress to the clay. 

A few skills I would like to work on would be making the project look more clean. I would try to make the tile more flat because the edges are curling. I would want to practice my painting skills and smoothing. If I practice these skills I could make a really nice project. Practice makes perfect. 

I give myself a 4 out of 5. For meeting the project requirements. I did extra hardwork and used my creativity skills.
I give myself a 4/5 because u tried hard in craftsmanship but I didn't go that far and beyond.
I give myself a 4/5 for having creativity. I love the colors I used. 
I give myself 5/5 for particupation. I always cooperation. 
I give myself a 4/5 for following all of the elements and requirements.

Double pinch pot fruit

I liked cutting the apple in half and smoothing the project the best. One challenge I overcame was smoothing he inside of the project. My nails cut the bottom of the project so I had to smooth it well to be able to continue with my project. If I had to redo anything I would redo the cutting in half of my apple and do a different design.

Name Plate

The thing I like most about my project is the "JEN" letters carved onto the project. I like the balance of the letters. 

One challenge I overcame was having to start over. I accidentally broke the "E" so I decided to start completely over. I think this was a good idea. 

If I had to remake the name plate again I would change the texture on the bottom. It got a little messy and I had to reform it. Other than that I love my name plate.  :)
