Clay-angelo

I just thought that I would post and let everyone see how beautiful my ceramics class has gone. not everything is perfect, but it's still cool to think that I made them. The first one reminds me of an egyptian urn, you know the kind that they would put internal organs in during mummification. It just needs a jackal head. The third big one is a honey pot. The last one is the most useful, a salsa bowl. The rest will basically hold flowers. I have a few more things that haven't gone through the kiln yet, so expect another post about pottery soon.

The other pictures are just a bird's eye view and from the other direction. The black one is a mug, and the reddish one is a cool loking bowl with X designs. There are a few mini pots, and don't overlook the second one in the first picture. That is a vase that will make flowers gow tall. That's why the arrows are pointing up. Also just a note, I told Leash that I would post about chemistry, so here is a chemistry question. What is the common name for Al2Si4O10(OH)2? Posted by Picasa

In case you were wondering, it's the chemical formula for clay.
