This one was my favorite, the circles along the edge reminded me of pearls.

To make most of my bowls, I used a method of rolling out a slab of clay and laying it over bowls molds to create the bowl shape.

Once I finished doing the flowers around, I decided to add another flower to the handle for an extra design aspect.

I tried to do an alternating pattern around the mug with the daisies. The flowers ended up being difference sizes, but I think it adds more to it's handbuilt look.

# data[].attributes.body
I had seen a picture on Pinterest of a mug with daisies all over the side of the mug, and I was inspired to try that design myself. I had struggled on knowing how to start the flowers, but I eventually decided on gluing the pieces directly to the mug.

The handle was the part I was most nervous about. A bad handle can easily ruin your entire mug, so I had to be careful. I had cut multiple handles out from a slab, but some weren't the best size for the cup. After a few bad handles, I cut one out and it was a good thickness and length for the cup. I knew it was the one and used slip to curve the handle into a half heart to "glue" it to the cup.

I didn't take a picture of this, but I had made a circle cut from a slab to be the bottom of the mug. I used slip to "glue" the slab around the circle. I had to fix the length of the slab to be able to wrap around the circle well.

To begin making my mug, I started by flattening out a piece of clay and cutting it in a rectangular shape. I had previously made a mug for my tool holder and I knew that the first step to making a mug was making a slab.

This is a more recent picture of it. Since I finished it, a few of the petals broke off. I plan on fixing these once I get my piece fired.

This was the final result of my mask. I'm proud of myself for being able to finish and actually really like it because I don't find myself to be a very creative or artistic person.

This was near complete. I felt like there was still some petals needed around the face.

At this time, I was almost complete with the petals. I struggled to find good spots to place the petals to make it look better.

I continued my process of gluing the petals and started to fan them out to make them look more like petals.

This is where I started to make the petals for the rose. I had rolled a long piece of slab and cut petal-like shapes into it. Before gluing them on with the slip, I tried to place them around the face to see where they would look best.

I added a line on the eyes to create an impression that it was a face with it's eyes closed. I struggled between deciding if I wanted to make the eyes open or closed and went with the eyes closed. I had also fixed the lips and made them look better on the face.

# data[].attributes.body
The lips were difficult for me to add onto the face. I had first attempted to place flat pieces of clay onto the face, but it didn't look right. Then I carved out of the face to create the product in the picture. I didn't fully like them though because I felt like they made the face look less realistic.

To begin forming the mask, I had rolled a slab of clay and gently laid it over my newspaper base. I used my fingers to create the nose and create the two nostrils. Then, I took two small pieces of clay I had cut out from another slab and place them on either sides of the nose. I used water to blend the eyes into the face. After I used my fingers to emphasized the brow bone above the eyes.

To make the base for my mask I placed a newspaper over a plastic face mask and secured tape around the nose to keep its shape.

I was inspired by this picture I saw online to make a mask that resembled a rose with a face. I had wanted to do something flower related and this fit what I had envisioned in my head.
