Hump and Slump Clay Project

My first project of the hump and slump project is this turquoise colored bowl. This was the hump part of it. I used a bowl thing that had a flower shaped rim thing. I didn't use the flower rim because I didn't want it on there. I put a quote from Sid Ceaser on the outside of the bowl. There were a couple of cracks on the top part of the bowl which are visible, but the glaze went over them and covered it up.
I like the color that I chose to glaze it with and I also like the idea of putting the quote on there.


My second project of the hump and slump project is this white Christmas plate. This was the slump part of it. I used just a plain plastic plate and put clay "into" the plate. I glazed the plate in a whole just a plain white. I wrote "Merry Christmas" around the outside rim of the plate. In between the top two Merry Christmas' is two holly which are glazed with a original green and red. Then in the middle of the plate is a Christmas tree. The Christmas tree is glazed with a green actual tree, has a brown colored base/stump of the Christmas tree, and then there are "Christmas lights" put on the tree which are the colors of orange, yellow, and a red. I like the idea of the plate and thought that it actually turned out pretty well. I could use this to give as a present, if I were to want to do that, or maybe I could use it to put cookies on it for Santa. :)
