FinishedAngle ShotsDetail ShotResponses1. Since my in process blog post, I have painted my piece with acrylic paint. After I did that, I sprayed my piece with glaze. 2. In my piece, I find my slabs the most successful. They are very smooth and make the box look like an actual present. 3. If I were to do it again, I would have used glaze instead of acrylic paint. Also, I would have tried to make the ribbons a little more precise. In ProcessPiece in ProcessResponses1. Next, I plan to paint my piece with acrylic paint. I will paint the ribbons of my box white and paint the wrapping paper light blue. After the paint had dried, I will apply a shiny coat to the piece.
2. What I found difficult was forming the box itself. It was hard because I had to measure each individual side as well as the top and bottom. The sides had to be exactly the same size and thickness which was especially hard when I did different sides on different days. It was hard to make the top because I had to make it able to fit like a puzzle. It was also hard to score and slip everything together without having anything break, crack, or fall apart. 3. What I found successful was how strong my piece is. It feels very sturdy and unlikely to break. I also like how the ribbons turned out because I was afraid they would break in the kiln. 4. First, I cut out 4 identical slabs: 1/4 thickness, 4 inches wide, 4 inches long. Then, I scored and slipped the 4 slabs together until they made a box. Next, I made the bottom of my box. I cut out another identical slab and scored and slipped it accordingly so it would fit on the bottom. Next, I made the top. For this, I had to trace the top opening of my box so that the top would fit like a puzzle on top. Then, I cut 4 identical slabs of ribbon and put each on one side of the box. Then, I created 4 little notches on the bottom of the top of my box. Next, I created the rest of the ribbon by molding the clay and scoring and slipping it onto the box. Lastly, I put my piece in the kiln.
