So I continued "this Week" to work on my potion vial. I worked on smoothening my sides more and flattening them out. I carried the edges even more to the neck of the pot, giving it more of a "vial" look. My pot also started to dry ( from bottom to up) and it made the pot more stable. I was able to work and touch my pot without worrying about deforming it's shape or breaking it. I was also happy to see that the pot didn't crack while drying and shrinking.
The biggest concern this week for me was the mouth. If you look at the 1st blog post that I made, you will notice that my pot has a round smooth mouth instead of a wiggly one that I have in this picture. The mouth that I ended up with was actually a result of a long process of trial and error. I originally tried to make a smooth mouth that slightly curved outwards. However, no matter how hard I tried, it seemed impossible to make the pot work! When I spent an hour to make the mouth somewhat even, I noticed that the thickness of the sides of the mouth weren't, and vise versa. At one point I got so frustrated that I gave up on making my pot's mouth and squished the sides in to make a star. The star design looked pretty nice, so I followed by pot's sides and made a 6 edged star/flower shaped mouth. I really like how it turned out.
