Box


This is my box. I didn't do that great of a job on it. But that's okay. My mom still likes it. Correction: sorta likes it. (She would like me to make a new one.)
As you can see, there is an orange fish on one side, an umbrella and beach towel (on green sand....), a sailboat that's sailing in stormy weather (not so smart to do that; you'd probably get extremely wet.), and a sunny sun with birds flying above the ocean. That's my favorite side. It's also the best side. On top of my box is a colorful beach ball. The top of the box doesn't exactly fit on the box, so it's crooked (as you can see).
I made this box by cutting six 5''5'' square pieces of clay and sticking them together. And then I drew on my designs and made the beach ball to put on top. I then let it dry and get fired, and then I painted it. (Reason why the sand is green on one side is because I failed at making a brown color paint).
That's all.

Mug

This is my mug. It's supposed to say "it's only make believe," but I forgot the E so it says "it's only make belive." It is blue on the outside with gold stars and a square-ish handle that is an off white color. Actually, I don't know what color it is. The inside is a light green. I made it with clay and it was pretty hard. It took my friend and I, like, five tries to make it. We're spazzes. (I don't even know if I spelled that right.) Oh well. This is my mug.
