Not going to lie this one looks like a potatoe. i actually like it though.

the texture of this one looks like a paper bag.

i like how this one is folded in on the top.

this one is cool because it looks like it has fish gills.
http://avapots.tripod.com/Page3.html
this is similar to the first one but it has a longer handle and is rounder.

1. A good part of my vessel is the design because i added texture with a sponge.
2. I could have done better on the top of my vessel becuase its
still uneven just a little.
3. My form is short, fat, and round
becuase I wanted it to look like a mug.
4. The texture of my vessel is
stamped with a sponge but, I also carved shapes on ther top
half.
5. I dont exactly like the pinch technique, its a fast,
easy way to mold clay but it can get very thin easily.
6. I
learned than when working with clay you have to be very calm, because it can be
frustrating.
7. I did my vessel the way i did because I could
see it in my head and I wanted to make a pot that looked like what I pictured,
but the more I did it the more random ideas popped into my head.
8. I will try to be way more patient with the next project, and
i will hopefully get over the fact that I'll be getting dirty.
