This piece is one of my slab mugs in which I put vine designs on. The size of this mug is about equal to the middle of your palm and about 3 in tall. I learned to connect the handle properly so that during the bisque stage it doesn't fall. I believe value was most emphasized in this piece because of how the colors turned out and the difference of shade between the swirls and the actual mug. I originally wanted my mug to be blue but it accidentally got put in the bisque too early, but it still turned out cool. It specifically created something new because it is not at all what I expected my work to turn out as which in my opinion always makes it just that much more interesting.
