I liked all the plate examples I saw but was not confident in my ability to create something that in depth so I opted for something similar but more simple. I stumbled upon this triangle paradox shape and decided to make that.
So far I have put the flattened out clay on top of my plate and cut off the excess. I then smoothed out everything and painted the underglaze on.

Working with styrofoam was interesting. It opened up many possibilities for making things and it is pretty soft and easy to cut. One drawback I found was that you need to be extremely careful and precise as to not cut too far into other cuts. I found it very easy to cut too far on accident.This project is coming along well, as it is mostly done.A difficulty I have encountered is getting everything where it needs to be. Parts of the tree need to be in specific locations and tape and other sticky mediums are needed. Getting everything situated without too much tape showing can be hard. On the other hand making my mushrooms was not too challenging. |
