(these were the only two pictures I had of my tile and cardboard piece, I will add more tomorrow).
Tile Piece
I was happy on how the texture for the leaves and bark turned out on the tree. I was also impressed on my ability to carve around the tree and branches to show relief in my piece. I was successful in using new techniques such as score and slip to attach the swing to the clay tile. I was not as satisfied with the final product, I felt as if I did a sloppy job with the acrylic paint and my glass didn't turn out as I thought it would. If I could do it over I would have made the swing smaller or the tree larger since the swing appears unproportional to the tree. I would have also made the glass pieces smaller and more abundant so the glass section would have filled in better.
Cardboard piece
I found this project to be very fun working with cardboard. I chose to make a fire relief piece. I was content with how the flames turned out and my precision cutting through the cardboard around the curves of the flames. However, if I could redo the piece I would have made another layer of flames under the original flames. I also wish my red and orange would have mixed together better to make more of an ombre between the colors.
