My piece originally was going to be drinkable, but as I went through the process of sculpting the piece, I found that having used coils if I were to put any sort of powder in the mug it would result in the powder sticking in the coils. So for now it contains pencils and pens.
I think the successful part of my piece is the way I used coils and laid clay overtop to keep the bumpy surface. The faces and expressions on the mugs are also very successful in giving off their expressions and adding a playful aspect to the mug. If I did it again i would probably have tried to sculpt the faces differently, maybe try to exaggerate the features.
When i was first thinking i had in my head the saying 'hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil' so i was thinking along the lines of expressions and how to make that visible, and as i was drawing the expressions turned more into words that apply to expressions, so one turned into a grumpy face, like a person pre-coffee. The other one turned into a sort of shy guy, or bashful expression. As i was looking on pintrest i saw mugs with weird and wacky monster faces on them and i was really drawn towards that aesthetic which follows my like of taking things a little out of proportion, making it cute, playful, and a bit weird.
