I decided to put a turtle on my bowl so first I get all the shapes ready;

Then I score the surfaces and use slip to join them together. I work on paper bags, my work doesn't stick to them;

I got him a little to wet, so I used a wine cork to prop him up, to give him shape;

When done cutting the design in, I use more scoring and slip to attach him to the side of the bowl. I also stick a sharp object into his shell till I feel the void, so he doesn't blow up in the Kiln;

same process with Tiki Mask;

A little request from the Turtle; :lol:

And that's it...off to dry, bisque fire, glaze and fire again, nothing to it! :lol:

MadDogMike, did I tell you how much I love the :) !

Mahalo,
