Explain your process from start to finish. (at least 4 sentences)
I started by trying to make the nest, which took many weeks of trial and error. I tried to make a nest out of coiling, but coiling is awful and I hate it. I then moved onto real sticks and twigs, but that didn't work either. During this experimentation, I sculpted the birds and the eggs. I had to learn how to use the wheel in order to make a nest, and by time the nest was sculpted, I had already glazed the birds. Eventually, I was able to sand down the birds and paint the nest with watercolor. It was finally done. Why did you pick the object you did and why did you convert it the way you did? What inspired you? I picked the lantern as my object because when I was walking through Pier One Imports, I saw that they had created a little winter scene inside of a lantern. I wanted to do something similar, but with birds. The lantern containing the nest makes the nest seem more like a house, and the bird on the top of the lantern is kind of symbolic of leaving the nest. Since I'm a junior, college is coming up fast, and facing the realization that I have to leave my home is scary.
