The finished fossil timescale vase! Seven periods represented by seven fossils in the seven colors of the rainbow. Closeups and fossil names below

Red: Trilobites, ammonites, and pikaia among other things for the Cambrian. Orange: Tiktaalik filling in as the Devonian representative, had to include the iconic transition fossil :] Yellow: Thrinaxodon and Broomistega in the Triassic cuddle. Green: my favorite pterosaur, Ramphorynchus, representing the Jurassic. Blue: my first favorite dinosaur, Spinosaurus, for the Cretaceous. Indigo: my favorite animal, a coelacanth, sort of wedged in for the Late Cretaceous since I couldn't come up with a better Cenozoic fossil in time. Violet: Sahelanthropus Tchadensis, an early hominid (I'm not 100% on if it's still regarded as our earliest known ancestor, cool regardless!!)

If I had more time with this it would have many more carvings, but I will have to settle with what I got: some trilobites, Pikaia, Tiktaalik, Thrinaxodon and Broomistega, Ramphorynchus, Spinosaurus, a coelacanth, and Sahelanthropus tchadensis

Hmm I'll post some of my ceramic stuff here, why not.

This is Hubert, the assignment was to make a functional monster jug. I'm still very proud of him, even if his form is a bit dumpy in the back and the jug neck is sloppy.
