This was one of my favorite things I have created this semester. I decided I wanted to make my set functional because I believe that I would get the most out of it that way. I planned on making a set of 4 but with poor time management skills I only had time to make 3 things. I got hung up on what kind of pattern I had wanted to do so I searched the web for "sgraffito flower designs" and I saw some great inspiration. After I had a good idea of what pattern I had wanted to carve I picked some of my favorite colors that I believe look great together. Some of the issues that happened while creating these pieces was that I had once again let my bowl dry too long so I was just scrapping dried clay wich made it extra difficult. I had also noticed that when I put my clear glaze on my colors changed. I think that it was a blessing in disguise because it now looks more like burnt wood I think. I decided to do a blue grey glaze on the inside and bottom of my pieces which was out of my comfort zone because I wanted to stick with something that matched or blended well like a nude color, but went with a contrasting color and I like my decision. If I was describing my set to a someone with their eyes closed I would say that they are a flowy flower design with different brown glazes. 3 similar pieces with the same glaze and sgraffito design, with light blue grey glaze on the inside of bowls and bottom of the plate.
