I am sure of my main design but unsure on what to put on the bottom or whether or not I should leave it blank. I'll let the piece speak to me as I go!

Back of my vase. I may omit the floral design if it feels overwhelming. Sometimes less is more!

Tiny textured handles or in my case more like belt loops!

# data[].attributes.body
This step is proving to be very challenging and is making me quite anxious and nervous. I am very excited still!

Work in progress

This is the only page of sketching I have. I thought of an idea, and stuck with it. I fiddled around with handles, and decided not to add one.

since I didnt have 2 pages of sketches, have my inspiration instead. I really like this artist claypigeonpottery.

This pair of women will have a sgraffito decoration in the green slip - probably an abstract reference to ivy. 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
I sketched the basic concept of vessels representing intertwined women, and noted the basic proportions. Then I made variations of the gestures with maquettes.

With or without heads? Bud vase openings?

With or without heads? Bud vase openings?

# data[].attributes.body
I sketched a variety of options for placements of openings to turn the figures into bud vases, as well as for sgraffito decoration.

In the end, I decided on an abstract patch of colored slip that links the two pieces when they’re aligned in a specific way. I decided to retain the heads, as the angle at which they look at (or away from) each other adds significantly to the narrative of the piece. I also decided that these pieces work better as sculptural pieces than as vessels. Therefore, I plan to make another pair of vessels to fulfill the functional requirement of the 46b assignment.

Aquatic theme seems to be what makes the most sense to me at this time since the vessel is meant to resemble a water pitcher. My work looks closest to design 1

I started with ideas of a sgraffito fish, something like this crayon drawing I made when I was a kid (it's hanging in my office to remind me to be brave and create like a kid).

# data[].attributes.body
I also considered different kinds of border designs. These are copies of doodles I did during boring meetings...!

# data[].attributes.body
I thought about different shapes, and ultimately decided to aim for wide pinch pots and a kind of clam shell form.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the sketch I brought to class today, but things didn't work out as I'd hoped, so I made some changes....

# data[].attributes.body
I'll be doing the sgraffito design next week.

# data[].attributes.body
It took me three tries to get the vase shape I was after, so I have two extra pinch pots. I made one into a bird-shaped pouring pot. I'll be decorating the body with slip/sgraffito next week.

# data[].attributes.body
i intend to create a jug that holds water and designated cup . i feel i need to use alot more paitents with the pinchy

# data[].attributes.body
im so embarrased of the blob i made . i decided to showcase what i can do with clay, ie my comfot zone

# data[].attributes.body
Here are the two forms separate from each other.. I should have gave time to firm up before placing them on one another.
