For my irresistible cups, I decided to make them seem like candy! To me, irresistible and delicious coincide. I definitely wanted a cup that seemed like chocolate, so I carved out the individual 'pips' into the clay and then added an area of melting chocolate. My other cup was meant to be rather plain except for the licorice handle and bits of candy all over it. I had trouble deciding what to do for my last cup, but then settled on making licorice wind up its side and make it seem as if a bite was taken out of it. The glaze for my chocolate mug didn't turn out exactly right, and I have yet to see the colored glaze sections of my other pieces. Overall, I'm happy with how these turned out. The glazes could have been better and I really should have thought about practicality of the two cups, (they can't really hold anything...) but besides that I'm pleased with my final product.
