The biggest challenge I faced was with water and keeping my pot the right level of hydration. This became a problem for me when my first base cracked and broke because there were water puddles. I needed to then spray the plastic bag versus the pot itself. The weight of neck of my pot also became an issue occasionally wanted to cave in on top of the bottoms divet. At times I needed to hold the top of the pot upwards and eventually I used the heat gun to help stabilize her shape.

Overall my vision of how she would end up matched pretty closely to what I had in mind even though she can be a little crooked and the modgepodge from the water brushing wore off in the wrong places. I learned that building with coils is a lot harder than it seems and that when building with coils one needs to have patience. Skill wise, I learned how to scrap out any bumps, how to roll even coils, and how to water brush a project even if it didn’t go perfectly.
