1. I plan to make the inside and outside (including the top) black, and making the characters and designs red. I might also add some more designs with the glaze around and on the design that is already on it. I also plan to possibly make more design on the top of the lid. 2. The only thing so far that I've found difficult to do was make the japanese characters in the sides of the box. They are small and precise and it's a little hard to get them clean and make them look nice and readable. 3. I really like how the lid of my box came out and how neat and straight the sides were. They also didn't bend or have any finger marks. 4. First I flattened a large slab of clay to make the sides, bottom, and lid out of. I cut them out and set them out to become leatherhard. Once they were sturdy enough to hold, but soft enough to stuck together, I used score and slip to first put together the side of my box. I then used it to attach the bottom. To make the lid lock I put small squares of clay in the corners of where the lid meets the sides of the box. I also made small handles on two sides of the lid to lift it up and attached them with the score and slip technique. I then cut out the designs for two of the sides and attached those with score-slip as well, I then carved out the japanese characters on the other two sides. I then waited for my box to dry to be fired.
