In Process1. Well as you can see, I plan to make my piece into SpongeBob's pineapple from SpongeBob SquarePants. Since the pictures I took, it shows I'm almost done, I plan to put some color on my clay piece. After I paint it, to look exactly like it does in the tv show, I want to glaze it too. 2. The only things I've found difficult are trying to make the diagonal lines on a round shape and getting them to match up is really tough, Then, also trying to make the pieces on the inside of my clay project to stay in place, so my lid can stay on without squishing them. 3. What I found successful was actually the extra details on the outside of my clay piece to stay. I don't think I ever had to put them back on my piece, because they have never fallen off. They also have maintained their shape really well. 4. My first two steps were making the two pinch pots as my base of the pineapple. I then scored and slipped all the extra details of clay to the outside of my piece, like the door and the windows. After that, I took a needle tool and cut the little details into my greenware, like the diagonal lines of the pineapple and the extra detailing on the door and the windows. I also scored and slipped the little pieces of clay to the inside of my pot to secure the lid shut. Lastly, I took a wooden modeling tool and just smoothed the clay out around the door, windows, the pipe and the top of the pineapple. Finished1. The only thing I did since I completed my in progress blog post was I just painted glaze on my piece. It was then fired in the kiln and I took my glazeware to take pictures of it, like the ones you see above.
2. I feel like my detailing, like all the add ons and the lines in my piece, were successful. I was actually really pleased with the crown on top of my pineapple, and I feel it turned out really well. 3. The only thing I would change about my piece is maybe doing a better job on the glazing. In some spots you can see where I didn't paint enough coats of the glaze on.
