Leaf Mug

      Large surface design that wraps around a project can give a two dimensional pattern a three dimensional appearance.This is a wheel made mug with a pulled handle. It is 6 inches high and has a 4 inch diameter. It has two leaves carved into the surface, an alder leaf and a maple leaf. The glaze is shadow green in the carvings, although it appears to be brown, and clear. The leaves wrap around the mug so they can't be seen all at once, and this shows the mug's shape. Surface design can appear three dimensional if it wraps around the surface of a project.
