hey, I'm Larissa Lavoie, I am a freshman at EL. My connection to this piece is that I work like a tortoise because I like to work alone, and I work at a speed just fast enough for me. I like to think i'm as smart as an elephant because they are intelligent animals. As or speed I would like to think i'm as fast as a cheetah.

I started by making a Pinch pot for the body, then I mad. coils to use as a tail and attached that. as for the head I was helped out by the teacher.

I wanted my project to be cute but I've always felt a connection towards elephants. They have always been my favorite animal, and I knew right away I needed to incorporate it in some way. I used the pattern because I thought it was beautiful. I added smiley faces to show happiness because elephants are happy animals.  I also chose elephants because they have deep family bonds and i'm a family oriented person.
