For my vessel I decided to do a simple bowl with a design on it. I sculpted the bowl and the butterflies separately and then attached them together. Before firing the bowl I carved a design into it to give it some texture. After firing I decided I wanted to make it all one color so I painted it all light blue and then added some other shades of the same color to give it more detail. I enjoyed this project but wish I had done something else with more shape to it.
