That thing I'm working on



"...You're not a Lord of the Rings fan are you?"

Don't judge me!

I'm a little concerned that the star field around the neck is a little "patriotic." It's not supposed to be. Not that I'm not patriotic. That's just not the message here. The message is obviously "this is a pot with the tree of Gondor on it." Just kidding. I have no idea what's going on. The only parts I know I'm keeping are the trees. Still working this one out.

What is it? Uh.. a vase?



I tried making a smooth coil thing to make it less about being a coil pot. You can still see the coils, though. Kind of like ribs. When I started, I thought about applying a texture at the end, but I'm not so sure. If I don't, I have to glaze it, and I'm a little scared of glaze.

More tiles with kids



I had my second group of kids in my art class, so we did clay tiles again.

Here's mine:



Clearly I put a lot of thought into it.
