Interest & Construction:

This has been one of my favorite pieces to make, and I knew I wanted to make something colorful. I loved the picnic aspect of it, and how it matches with the berries. Getting the first part made was the hardest for me. I made it too thin, and it broke, and I had to restart. Yet the second time it still broke, but I still went with it and kept going, as I originally hoped to have it not be broken, but it had other plans.

 

Reflection:

I am actually quite happy with how this piece turned out. While I do wish it were not broken in the corner, I like the way it looks now, with the pattern and berries. If I were to do this again, I would make it thicker so it wouldn't break. As well, I would change the glaze on the blueberries, as I am not a fan of the color and wish they were a bit lighter and more blue.
