For the start of my vessel project i used a large tube to get the trunk of my tree and once i had gotten that and flattened out my clay i wrapped the clay piece around the tin foil i put around the cylinder so the clay would not stick to the tube, After i got the clay wrapped a round the tube i started at the lower half of the clay and started pushing it down and out to get the bottom of the tree where the roots usually hold on to . With this part i had to add on clay to make sure the bottom of the tree was flat and even . Once i had gotten that set and done i added a whole bunch of clay to the center of my tree truck so i could place a mini candle with in this nitch . when i added enough and marked where i was going to start carving i started to carve . When the carving and shaping of the candle holder was there i used a slitting tool to give the tree a nice texture to it then it was put in the fire thing. When t got out i gave it a nice brown underglaze with a hint of a light brown to it .
