Plan: 

Wedge lots of clay

Roll some of it out 

Cut it into a rectangle

Roll it into a cup

Add a bottom and top for a hallow cylinder 

Roll out other clay 

Use that clay to make body parts

Add the parts to the cylinder 

Add a piece of clay to wrap around as the string holding all the flowers together

Take pieces and fold them into flowers for the top

Overall:

Overall this as a very fun assignment that went pretty well for the little time I used. I wish I would have figured out the assignment I wanted to do earlier so I could have more time to work on it. I also could have not rushed my woman selling the flowers so I could add more details on the clothing and her overall shape. In the end the piece went pretty good in my opinion and I would like to do it again sometime.
