Whistle

I created my whistle by making two pinch pots and blending them together, resulting in the shell part of my turtle. I attached the legs, head and tail. Then I added the actual whistle part in, which was done by carving out part of the underbelly. I added a texture, and after it was fired, I glazed it. I used unity in this piece by making the shell the dominant part of the turtle. I also used color to make it stand out more. In this project I learned that making a whistle takes a lot of patience, because if you take too much clay out, your whistle could become silent.
