This was one of my favorite projects that we did. First we started off by picking a picture and then we traced it. Then we started adding color. I colored the butterfly and then the background. I used my finger to smudge the background so it would look blurry and make the butterfly pop out.

We started off by just getting a feel for the coils and playing with them then we created a design for our bowl that we transferred over to a plastic bowl with paper-towels over it. Then we started laying down coils and let it dry. We also blow dry it then we put three layers of glaze on so it could get its beautiful color.

This project started by outlining a picture of a whale.  Then I put water down on the paper everywhere besides the whale. I then grabbed blue paint and painted strokes to get a wavy texture. I kept repeating that until the background was dark enough. Then I painted the whale with a dark blue and kept adding layers until it got really dark.
