The set project:

For this project I decided to stick to a simple design yet something that could be personalized with every detail added to each heart. As I went through the molding process it wasn't too challenging the real challenge came from the carving. After I was able to carve each piece I had to figure out a subtle yet complex color for my glaze. While it is not a typical first choice color for hearts I am very happy with it and would not change it. 

Final Mug

For my final mug I wanted the inspiration for it to be one of a rustic feel so I decided to go for a very unique manly look. While this piece was originally thrown on the wheel I edited it so that it looks as if it was completely handbuilt for a more rustic look. The glaze could not be done better even if I had another chance. I am more than happy with the woodsy color it got from the glaze.
