MUGS!
Planning: Go on wheel and create a deep mug. Underglaze flowers and leaves with an uncolored background. Matt clearglaze over the rest after bisque fire.
Progress: So far I made a shallow mug, I couldn't lift it up without it becoming uncentered. I glazed it all sapphire float because I didn't want to do the glaze pattern on this shallow mug. I'll retry next time on my bubble mug.
To be continued. . .
UPDATE: I created a slab-rolled tumblr cup with a lid for my morning chais and so far I've fired it once, underglazed it with the small flower pattern, and clear-midfire glazed it. it is now waiting to be fired.

Finished Piece:
Planning: Slab-roll clay, build up on the clay to create ridges for petals. Fire once, glaze an ombre on the rest.
Prodress: I've slabrolled the clay, I built up on the petals and created the stem in the middle. I've been smoothing the bottom and the edges. I fired the piece and created a balayage pattern similar to that on the reference and fired it again.
I am happy with how my piece came out, I just wish that I had built up the edges more for jewelry to stay in and that it was more pink.

Planning: I slab rolled a flat piece of clay and built up the areas that were more plump in the face, like cheeks, nose, eyebrows, and the chin. I smoothed these areas and added finishing details. I rolled out different clay tubes and scored/slipped these pieces on so they wouldn't fall off. I fired it once and then I glazed it yellow and orange to resemble the sun, but I also added pink for makeup.
