I have mixed feelings about this piece. I can not find a photo of the finished product, but the glaze I used was much brighter than I originally thought. It also killed a basil plant I planted in it. Overall, though, it is not the worst it could have been.

I really liked this piece. I hope the child likes it as well. My biggest change is that I would have spent more time painting the white rather than leaving it clay colored, as I think that would have made it look more polished. Overall, though, I am quite happy with the result.
