For my scrafitio tile project, I chose to incorporate both elements of flora and fauna (plants and animals). I connected my tile with Yara, we connected our tiles literally through a stem, and figuratively through the theme. I was inspired by the tranquility of nature and wanted to combine an animal/insect with its natural habitat in nature. My success of the week has been creating a sketch that connects with Yara’s tile and that I find visually appealing. My challenge of the week has been chosing a design amongst other designs I found inspiring. My goal for next week is to carve my tile.

Week 2
This past week I have worked on designing, underglazing, and carving my tile. My goals for this week are to overglaze and complete my tile. My success of the week was carving on a pattern that followed my design and connected to Yara’s, and adding finishing touches to my tile to perfect it as much as I can. My challenge of the week was having to re carve some of the details on my tile and not feeling like it was to my standard.
Here are some updated photos of my tile :
This week I finished underglazing my tile, and today started and finished overglazing my tile. My challenge of the week was getting rid of some mould that formed over my tile. My success of the week was completing every step in creating my tile. My goals for next week are to photograph and name my tile.
