You roll the clay flat, cut out the pieces and then attach them all together. (Easier said then done) Some pieces put together. Starting to look like a Moai. On go the ears. Added the nose, and decided to leave off the mouth and nostrils, because GROG like the simplicity of the form. It's all about the "lines" of the form. [ Cleaned up and finished. Now hopefully it will make it through the firing without blowing up or cracking. [ Edited by: GROG 2011-06-28 01:35 ]
