This is a piece that I am currently working on. I rolled out the clay flat and then wrapped it around a cardboard tube. After letting it dry I began to carve into it. The swirl markings started as a mistake but I realized that they were actually making an interesting design so I went with it. The words "And it makes me wonder" are lyrics from one of my favorite songs that I happened to have stuck in my head that day.

I really like how this piece is turning out. However, right after I took this photo the peice broke across the top taking out part of the swirl design. The piece doesn't have the same feel anymore but I am going to finish it because the break didn't drastically change the overall look for the piece because the majority of the carving wasn't effected.

I am excited to glaze this piece because I want to use a few different glazes on the different parts of the piece. I really want to get the glaze in the carved lines so it will make them really pop. Latley I have been attracted to blues so I will most likely incorporate a few blues into this piece.
