Going for a viper this time instead a cobra. Started with clay wrapped around a rubber hose for the snake, the snake will serve as a straw. Formed the bowl and the snake. Did basket weave around the bowl but managed to break off the snake :( Re-attached the snake. I put a rolled up piece of paper in the "lumen" of the snake to keep the straw open and to help support the snake as it dries. I don't need to retrieve the paper, it will burn out in the kiln Time to clean it up as it slowly dries
