oops, I wasn't done yet! sorry. I don't know how you got that to stay together long enough to get bisque fired. Looks like quite alot of yoga and acrobats invloved.

The fish were easier to do than the seaweed, mostly because the weeds you could not attach it while they were really wet, that took a couple tries.
But painting it was hard, lots of flipping and painting with little room. That was fun fun.

My mother told me I had to keep this one around the house, it was cute of her.
She's still bitter about a mask I gave away last year.

Well my teacher calls it drain casting, but slip casting I believe is the same thing.
I took a needle tool and made tiny little "U" shapes, It took quite some time. The fish were made separate by hand then scored to the pitcher. It was so fragile as greenware it would have been totally destroyed if someone elses had exploded in the kiln.
