I think you can do anything you want with clay. Example roll out a piece to a small diameter, dip it in slip which acts as glue and attach it to your mug. You can make designs and rims around eyes this way. Remember a paint brush is a wonderful clay tool. You can move clay and smooth surfaces with it. Never give up. If you are in our area stop by for sure. Did you see my potters wheel pot? it didn't get much better when I used a real one. I'd love to try again. Taking photos of art in progress shows more than looking at the original. These photos show me that the nose is not right so I'll have to start over in that area next. Wishing Grog the best, too.
