What was my progress since the in-progress post?First, I added a blue glaze to the "water" portion of the piece. After it had been fired, I added some broken glass so that it would look cool on the surface. Once that had been fired, I added acrylic paint to the sides and tried to make it look like wood. I also used acrylic paint to paint the frog and lillypad. Finally, I painted the inside a blue to (somewhat) match the blue in the "pond." I didn't add any finish on it because I wanted the wood texture to still look rough and not glazed. What do you find successful about the finished piece?I think that the wood texture was very successful. I think the color and texture works really well. I also think the melted glass was successful in making the surface of the water look more than simply stagnant. What would you have changed if you were to do it again?I would have put some clay in the pond part so that I could attach a lillypad to it. Once the malted glass was in there, it would have looked like a lillypad was floating on the water. I was planning on doing that, but forgot to when making it. I would have also made the melted glass crack in different places so the cracks aren't so spread out.
