Post Snow Days

I am currently working on two projects. The first is a closed container with a cut out lid. The most important things to tell someone to do on this project would be to make sure the clay is leather hard before taking it off of the molds, to be very precise when connecting and cutting the to pieces together to make sure you do not put a whole in it, and to cut at in angle into the clay when creating the opening/lid. I am focusing on contrast through the different texture of the elements on the smooth container as well as the deep thick cuts for the lines, I am also using color to show contrast, the designs will be a tannish color and the rest will be a dark purple/blue. I am also making a large coiled vase, the three most important parts of this project would be to make sure to slip and score, make sure to smooth out the clay in the end and to make sure the angling is the same so the vase looks like three even parts. I am focusing on lines to make transitions in color, as well as unity so the vase looks like it three of the same smaller vases put together.
