This is my wheel altered! It's a bowl with bent edges to create a wavelike effect around the outside. It's made with porcelain which you can sort of tell due to the shininess and white edges around the outside. This is obviously not my best project but I still learned a lot from it. It's weird, when someone is in class and their project gets really off center or the top collapses someone near them will be like "That sucks, just make it a wheel altered!". So to me, wheel altered projects were always the screw ups. The ones that didn't turn out the way you planned. This one came about exactly the same way though! I messed up with recycled porcelain, got annoyed, messed with the edges and then gave it a crappy glaze job. But the weird thing is that even though I put no effort into this project, I still really like it. I like the way the blue looks with the twisting shape. I like the way the twisting shape reminds me of waves. I love how calm light blue makes me feel. So I guess I learned with this project that art is art. It doesn't always make sense.
