artist statement:
this piece was inspired by my love of tim burton movies (i hate him) but his work is amazing. I have been watching his movies since I was a kid. The most difficult part about this project was definitely the frogs feet they were difficult to get right but i thing they came out how i wanted. I wish the labels were a little more visible but i think they are able to be seen still.

main idea:
create a set of lidded pinch pots that all go together some way, my idea was to recreate the spice jars from the nightmare before christmas.
how was it made:
I made the worms wort first, I created two pinch pots and put them together then cut a lid out of the hollow ball of clay once the lid was made I used a long piece of clay to make it into a gallery lid,and a smaller piece to make a little worm handle, after that I used another long piece of clay to make a foot
then i got my nails done for homecoming so i created the frogs breath because it would be easier then creating a pinch pot so i rolled out some clay cut it into a square and made it into a cylinder and added a bottom. I repeated the steps for the gallery lid then I created a pinch pot for the frog and added the necessary limbs to make it look like a frog.
last but not least my nails were finally off so I created the last lidded pinch pot labeled deadly night shade using the same steps as the first one but not adding a foot or handle. for all the jars I waited till they were leather hard to carve the labels.
