  the design.

Vase

• The inspiration for me is the two holed vase. I
  like that the flower is in one of the holes and
  you could add more water if needed without taking
  it out.

Heart Teapot

• I think this design of the heart teapot is a
  really well done piece that looks realistic and
  is still functional.

Everyday Objects

• I like how this teapot looks like an everyday
  object and the glaze is very smooth and glossy
  that adds to the effect.

My First Raku

  on the walls but it makes me want to improve.

Art Club Raku

• I am also inspired by my fellow art club members
  and their creative outlooks. Each piece had
  something the other didnt and I thought that was
  great.

Teapot handle

• I like the handle in this teapot because it flows
  with the design. I also like the etching in the
  pottery.
