For my theme project I decided to make another set of plates, however one of my plates ended up cracking:( so I had to throw it away... BUT Ms, Heideman said she would excuse the one that broke... However the other plate survived and I was able to finish it, It is about 4 inches wide and 1 inch tall with a dark forest green glaze. Just like the previous plates I focused on compressing the plate to make it as even and smooth as possible. I also worked on making the edge a little more defined on this plate. I tried to emphasize form, in the depth of the plate and the balance of the side 'walls' being even along with texture in the paint splatter glaze I did when I glazed it. However for some reason the base color ended up washing the splatter out... so you can see it. I also focused on proportion which is important when making a plate because you want it to be a certain thickness and the wall to be a certain height so it resembles the shape of a plate. And lastly I made sure to show balance with the overall feel of the glaze as it was uniform and solid. When it came time to glaze my plate I did a dark forest green and splattered shadow green on top but the shadow green ended up getting washed out. This plate reminds me of the PNW and all the green around us. For some reason it also makes me think of rain, so perhaps this will be my 'rainy day' plate for when i want some cookies or a piece of peanut butter toast.
