8 Inch Sandstone

This piece was originally not actually suppose to be my grade piece. I have had some misfortunes this semster with several of my pieces breaking, but I am glad I was able to use this piece as a grade. I am very proud of this piece because it was one of the first ones I had done all semester, adn the first to have a foot at the bottom. I was very nervous to create a foot in fear of running my project, but I am glad I used a strong clay like sandstone. Although it sometimes can be painful, I think sandstone is my favorite clay because it is easy to use, and nice to create bigger projects with. I painted this piece sort of ombre with different shades of blue; I even created my own color by mixing shades. I am happy with how this piece looks and will be giving it as a gift this holiday season.
