This is an extra credit vase that starts narrow at the base, widens out to its point of largest radius about 2/3 of the way up, quickly shrinks the radius, and then comes up and out to form a nice lip at the top. The vase is glazed in dreamscape green, with white sponged on the lip and up the bottom until about halfway up, which turned the glaze into a beautiful blue. I have always had trouble making vases, and this one turned out fairly well (even though it is small), so I was very proud of it. In order to make this vase successfully, I was very aware of how I was pulling the walls, in which direction I was applying more pressure, and how I was choking. In other projects, I had the wheel spinning too quickly and so the choking did not work out as well as I wanted it too, so I took it slow this time and got a nicely small hole at the top of the vase. This vase has color, seeing as the green fades into the blue, and proportion because the curves and changes in radius are proportionate to the rest of the vase. This vase, as a whole, gives off a happy, deep-forest feeling.
