Working with clay

I made a rose out of a small block of clay.
I chose to make this flower because it is a wonderful sculpture and a pretty flower. I used allot of clay. It took a very long time to make this flower. I got the hang of making the pattern. The clay when it was wet is was smooth. We made a lot of stuff to get the hang of feeling it wet and dry. When you pinched it when it was wet is kept on slipping out of your fingers.If it was too wet it disappeared . If it was too dry it went hard.
