3rd Quarter Project

Work should be taken off the wood when leather dry so that it can retain its shape, but also can be trimmed on the wheel.  I focused mostly on texture and balance in this piece.  I learned from this project that things that seem too difficult to put together sometimes just need a few more days to stiffen (like the walls of the lantern).  If I could change something, it would be to go back and mix one of my glaze components with a paddle instead of just a whisk, because inadequate mixing made it come out green instead of blue.
