For an extra project, I made a large, black vase with blue details. For this vase, I practiced making bigger projects, and pulling higher (which is really difficult I might add, I was sweating a lot). My vase uses color to create emphasis, because to be honest, it has a small dent in it, so I used the blue to try and highlight other parts of the vase. My vase has a very night sky feel because the blue looks like clouds against the night sky at dusk.

For my very tall project I made a burnt orange and blue pedestal bowl (birdbath). During this project I practiced my frankenpot skills because I had to attach two bowls together to make the project. My bowl uses color to create contrast because the orange makes the blue portion seem more pronounced. My project has a very desert oasis feel because of how the burnt orange and blue look together.
My second bowl is a large white and black bowl with a blue path down the middle. To make this bowl, I had to practice once again with using larger amounts of clay to make a project, which worked out much better on this bowl than the first bowl, since the second bowl is not as heavy. This bowl uses color to create movement, because the blue draws the viewers attention to the sides of the bowl. This bowl has a very wintery feel because of the cool color as well as the white and black.
My first bowl is a black, white, and blue patterned large bowl. To make this bowl, I had to practice using larger amounts of clay to make projects, which did not go great on this bowl as it is super heavy. This bowl uses color to create contrast, because the extremes of the white and black are separated by the blue. This bowl has a very winter feel because of the black, blue, and white.
Our frankenpot went missing in the Great Kiln Fire of '17, but here's what I have as proof that it once existed.
For my two projects, I made a bunny in a cage, and a little owl lantern/shrine. My main project, the shrine, is a bit smaller than I had hoped, because I was absent for testing, but it meets the other requirements because it has negative space and a handle for detail.
