This project was really difficult for me and the process was frustrating. The clay was initially pretty dry so it was hard to work with. I wasn't very confident with my stamps because they weren't all lined up perfectly. I didn't think my bowl was going to turn out even when I was painting it. But after it was fired up, I was really surprised with the results and ended up really liking it. I think the colors and design when well together and even though the stamps aren't all even, it still looks good and somewhat intentional.

I liked this project because I like using clay, but it is harder for me. I wasn't sure how to form the shell or make texture. I was really scared my snail would fall apart during the building process or explode in the kiln. Painting it was also a challenge because there were a lot of grooves but I like how it turned out. I think the glossy spray topped off my project.

This project went okay, it was kind of tedious trying to make it look realistic. My favorite part was probably painting it, but it was difficult to color match. This wasn't my favorite project but I it was still fun. Overall I think it ended up pretty good; it looks realistic from a distance.
