Pinch Pot Animal Inspiration


When I was brainstorming about what I wanted to make using the pinch method, I looked through the web to find inspiration. I saw flower pinch pots, animal pots, and intricately designed pots. If I made pots, I thought about having an overall theme for them. I thought about making a nature scene with flowers and a seasons (spring, summer, autumn, winter) theme. I thought about making animals, such as octopuses and elephants. I had a difficult time deciding on what I wanted to do. In the end, I decided to make an elephant.

I wanted the elephant to express an emotion. I was thinking of making it bold and proud or timid and shy. I ended up deciding to make it more timid. I wanted to make a more "cartoon" version of a baby elephant, exaggerating its ears.

I received most of my inspiration from Pinterest. It had a lot of great ideas on how to create and decorate pinch pots. It also had cute ceramic animals.
