Lamprey Mug

 This is another attempt to make a coil pot, in this case a coil mug.  I like how the mug itself came out, but it took a long time.  After several hours, I had the options to leave the pot unadorned, to save the decoration for another day, or to make a grotesque face quickly and then go home to bed.  I chose the last option because the mug felt naked without a face and because I'm accustomed to finishing a piece in one sitting.  I think the lamprey face is too simplistic and not interesting enough.
