I decided to combine these two projects because I thought the mixed clay would look awesome with utensils. I couldn't really think of a food specific vessel, so I thought the best route to go was silverware made of clay. I attempted to make an interesting pattern with the colored clay, but gave up and just swirled the two types. I then carved out the basic shapes of the utensils and built up on the shapes so they were more three dimensional. After the pieces were fired, I gave them a clear glaze so the swirl of different clay colors would be seen.
