The process of the leaf was suppose to be pretty simple, roll out the slab, roll leaf into the slab, the fire and paint, but of course like most art it became more complicated. I was ill for a few days which gave my piece time to mold and me less time to give it shape. The when fired the leaf cracked and didn't fit back together correctly. I saw this as such a good issue, but really it is what made my piece special. I had hot glued the pieces back together and painted the glue gold. I feel as if my piece was very successful because it turned out different. If I could of done anything different I would of pit fired the leaf pieces. Mrs. Sudkamp's demo lead me to this piece.
