My coiled vessel is brown with green leaves and vines with an addition of orange and pink flowers on the side. The inside is bright red to add contrast with the brown on the outside. The orange flowers also add a bright contrast to the brown. I used contrast of colors to show the brightness of the bowl. I used to coils and smoothing to make the shape. I also used balance by using the elements of the flowers and vines across the topso it was balanced. My inspiration was to show the nature element and be inspired by tropical flowers. I first started with a slab of clay and formed the base of the bowl with a rolling pin and a needle tool to carve out the circular shape. I then started to form coils using the slip and scoring method to mold them to the base. After I finished the height of the bowl I started to add the flowers and vines across the top. Smoothing was also used by using the rib tool and sponge. I rolled the clay into lines to make the vines and twist them around each other. I added the flowers last and attatched them to the bowl.
