I didn't really have an idea when I first started this project. As I was going I was looking up ideas and took little bits and pieces from them. My process was first using the coil method over and over again till it got taller. I then started to smooth out my surface to make it all just one smooth tall cylinder. Next I started to add my seashells, starfish, etc, to the vase. When that was all done it was fired. For the color I used acrylic paint. I like using the acrylic paint becuase the glaze we have doesn't come out accurate, color wise. I can also have a wider variety of color range as well. This Art work does not mean anything its just a pretty piece I created for my mom. When you look at it you can think of the ocean. The most difficult part was the base of the vase and keeping it wet. I think that this is realistic. I think this is unique to my personality because I love little things like that on vases. I also love painting. My favorite part about this vase is the starfish on it, I think that they look really good and tie everything together.
