I chose a dragon for my bigger whistle because I love dragons! I really like to draw them! I made my other one to go with my first one. One of the problems I had was when the first one wouldn't whistle. I had to start over a few times before I got it right. It was also hard to get the little claws on the second one's paw. The one that I am holding on to. It was even harder to get the glaze in between them. But I got a small brush and managed to get the glaze in there. I really like my dragons the way they are, except my second one. I think I should have made the bottom more flat so it would stand up on its own. As you can see in the picture, I have to hold it up. I didn't originally want to make a penguin. I was trying to make a dragon, but it looked more like a bird. So I chose to make a penguin. I chose a penguin because they're just too cute! I did have problems, one of which was when I would accidentally paint inside my designs. Then, depending on how dark the color, I would pain over part of the design. Another problem I had was when the paint was really see-through. I had to add and add more and more layers of paint. One my forest green cracked, but when I painted over it it didn't crack again. I think this was a good work of art, but I honestly think I could have done better. After I got a bit behind, I kind of rushed through it. I am still proud of my work and think it is a successful piece of work though. :) It looks as though it is wattling!
