This is my snail rattle. i created this with two pinch pots and put little balls of clay inside and slipped and scored the pinch pots to make a hollow ball. i added a rolled out piece of clay for the head and pinched up to eyes. i carved out a mouth with a needle. i poked 4 holes in the back so it would not explode. i used low fire paint to with the snail a cartoony feel and vibrant colors.

This was the box I made. I made this box by first starting out with a a wedged ball of clay. I took this ball and rolled it out. I then cut out six 6 in X 6 in squares. Once they dried out a little bit i slipped and scored them to create a box. I took a needle and created a beach scene with water birds the sun and a boat and also some clouds. i created a sand castle to be the handle on the top and added slip with my finger to the top so it gave a texture like sand. once it became green ware i painted it with low fire glaze and put a clear low fire glaze to give it a shiny look.
