For this project I had a lot of trouble thinking about what to do. I did a vessel in Art II and I found out that I didn't know what to make for that project also. I focused on my research from pinterest and choose to just go along with my piece and make unique shape instead of theme. I knew that I wanted to have the middle of the vessel rounded and I knew I was going to push down on the top and extend the middle. Then I came to the problem of that I didn't know what I wanted to design my piece as. My original design was to cut out diamonds for the entire thing but it ended up that they didn't line up so I had to free hand the ones I was going to cut out. Then I smoothed down my cuts and designed the triangles that I wasn't going to cut out. I really like how I cut into the vessel to do the very inside triangles on the top and bottom. The thing that I was really disappointed with was the glaze. I chose to glaze a very big piece and I think that was a bad idea. Its very hard and time consuming to paint something of that size with multiple layers and trying to remember where I had painted before. I originally was going to do acrylic but I couldn't make the correct color so I went with glaze. I don't really like how it turned out, The glaze was heavier in places than others and didn't turn out how I wanted to or as dark as I wanted.
