what i plan to do with my pieceI plan to paint my piece a mauve color, paint the logo white, and paint the top of the water bottle black. These colors are based off of a water bottle I have seen and I hope that the colors are able to make it as realistic as possible. I also plan to outline the writing at the bottom of the bottle in black so that the brand of the water bottle is noticeable. what i found difficultWhat I have found difficult about my piece so ar was making the size just right. At first, the lid on the top was too big and would not be able to be fired without it expanding and not being able to come out. The way I fixed this was by taking a fettling knife and shaving off all of the excess parts. This made the piece skinnier and the cab able to fit. what i found successfulWhat I have found successful so far is the way I made the water bottle realistic looking to a real one. I like the way the logo turned out and the way the cap fits is the same way it fits in reality for a real water bottle. my processI started off with the clay as a slab and rolled it around a model to get the correct height and width I wanted. I let that sit over night and took the clay off the model and began on making the lid. To make the lid I used a thinner model so that it would be able to fit inside the piece I already had. I then took the lid off it's model and closed it up as well as made a holding bar on the top. I then added the hydro flask logo and put it in the kiln to be fired. photo of my piece unfinished
