In Process Blog Post1. I plan to finish my piece off with a glaze. I will make the door a dark brown and the window a light blue. The main body of the house will be a tan/cream color, and there will be green vines on the house where they are drawn in. The roof will be a burgundy/red color.
2. I have found getting the right measurements for the pieces and getting the pieces to stick together well difficult. The measurements were difficult because of the roof, I had to figure out how long the sides of the side roof pieces would have to be to fit on top of the front and back triangles. Getting the pieces to stick together was also hard because the pieces I cut out weren't straight so I had to re-cut them to get them to stick well together. 3. I have found the look and shape of the piece successful so far, and looks how I wanted it to look. 4. I first made 5 square slabs, then the 2 triangles for the front and back of the roof and 2 slabs that fit as the sides of the roof. I used scratch and slip to make sure there was a tight bond between the pieces of clay as I constructed the piece. Until this point the piece was green ware, so I could still mold and shape it, but it is now bisque, as it has been fired once.
