This is my first project for a class called Professional Design Explorations. Every week we present pieces that we have made in response to the previous week's field trip. The form of the base of this vase was inspired by the shape of St. Mary's Cathedral in San Francisco, which we visited last week on Good Friday. The egg shape of the vase's rim was also inspired by it being Eastertime. The thin white plastic and asymmetric form remind me of a calla lily flower, which makes me think it'd be fun to try making a taller, thinner version...

how beautiful and delicate! Loved the egg shape. So that was not the st. mary's I thought it was. . . cool feet kinda like the cathedral turned upside down.
nice shape- even for a rather uninspiring material. you should add a section into you blog about the materials your stuff is made out off- so i don't have to keep asking. :)
