//**My Wonderful Tea-set!!! **//

// My final teapot is a lot similar to the design I made before I constructed the actual teapot I have today. The only thing that's different is that i didn't make a sugar cup or a creamer holder. One of the problems I had while making my teapot was figuring out how to construct the saucer for the teacup to go on. I solved this problem by making a cup in a bowl (with no handle) and then cutting around it until it was the size of a saucer. One of the problems I had while making my teabox was finding a font to write in that actually related to the theme of my teapot. I solved this problem by looking up apple fonts, and then I also got another font and i colored it the color apples would most likely be (red and green). I think the top of my teapot came out very well. I think this was because the leaf that i put on the stem was very realistic and well made so it really helped you tell that it was an apple. If i could repeat this assignent I would have painted the worm (handles and spout) a tan color instead of a dark brown. I would have done this because the metallic brown color makes it a little bit difficult to tell that the worm was a worm. I will be making great use with my teapot. I will be giving it to my mom as her birthday present because, she drinks a lot of tea. //

My theme for my pinwheel was world peace. I really didn't know what symbolized that, so I just put what I envisioned when I think of peace. I thought the theme of hippies kind of resembled peace the best.

I had to find a way to get my pinwheel to look tye-died on the inside, so I had to go home and use food coloring. Another thing I had to decide was if i wanted to do anything to my pencil that held my pinwheel, but I decided that the colors matched pretty well. I also had to find a way to get my straight pin to not stick out the back of my pencil, so I put an eraser on the back.

Overall I think I did pretty good. If I had more time I might have put more on the back of my pinwheel, or put a more detailed design. I also might have made it bigger. A last thing I might have done is I might have put a bigger variety of colors in the tye-died part of my pinwheel.
