This is the first project I began in pottery. I made a set of cups, small medium and lagrge. All including a tray. The best part of my piece, is my cups, they are thin cups, and I am modeling after Lynda Ladwig who also makes thin cups. Making thin cups is easier, and they are not as heavy. They are very light. My first one was a small set with six cups they are about two in a half inches tall. I glazed them with satin white glaze. 

        The most challenging part of this project, was making the tray. The reason why, is because it was my first tray and I wasn't sure if it was going to make it. Since I am a procrastinator, life hit me, and I became lazy. I took too long to make my tray that when I went to let it dry it cracked. Lisa said that the tray would not make it, and that I should make a new tray. But I did not listen to her. I was too lazy and I figured I would just go with it, cross my fingers and hope my tray would survive. Eventually my tray did survive. it made it through a long process. If I could have changed something, I would have re-made my tray. The reason why, is because it took too long for my tray to get well. And in that time I could have made a new tray, and moved on with my project. Me waiting on my tray made my project go on longer, that I am still finishing it in second semester.

        The thing I learned about creating this piece, is that sometimes waiting can be a long process and healing can take a long time especially if you have an injury. Healing takes time. and sometimes its ok to let time heal you and leave a scar of rememberance, instead of forgeting your accident ever happened and trying to start all over again. Its ok to have a scar, because when you look back at it, you can see how far you have come, and how much you have grown.
