This is my story tower. It was influenced by my sophomore year spirit week when I dressed up as the mad hatter for cartoon day. The base of the sculpture is made out of rectangles pieced together to form a hat. I made a cartoon version of myself sitting in a cup to sit on top of the hat. To get the touches of black we fired the pottery. After it was fired I painted it and applied the picture frame and horseshoe. After those pieces were applied we glazed the piece to add shine. For the words I took lyrics of songs that mean something to me and printed them out on regular paper. Then I took watered down yellow/brown paint to add an aged look and crinkled the paper up. Overall I am happy with my final piece.
