This week I have been working on two things! My tray, and my regular piece! So first with the tray, it took me a couple tries to roll out a piece of clay big enough for the tray template. After several tries of doing that, it was finally big enough. After I just smoothed the edges of the tray so I could paint the black underglaze on it. While I let the underglaze dry, I worked on my regular piece. It was finally fired so I was able to paint the kangaroos and tree black. I also labeled the colors I want in the background and so it can match up with the glass. This isn't shown in the picture, but I made light pencil markings on the clay so I know which section I wanted for each color. Next week I will paint the glaze color matching the glass, and put the glass in. I also need to paint the border as well! Going back to the tray, I finished doing a second layer of underglaze and I was thinking of an idea for a design for it!
