The right hemisphere of the brain is considered to the the creative/artistic side while the left side is the logical/mathematical side. I consider myself to be a left brained artist and freehand symmetry is not my friend. So I measued the circumstance, divided by 4, and made a template of half of the face.

Traced half of the face into the soft clay, flipped the template over and traced the other half.


I'll carve this much deeper as the clay hardens.

Rolled out another slab and made a 4.75 inch cylinder for the base. Added a support with a hole about 1.5 inches down.

Then added a dished top and another hole.

Now the top mug portion rests in the dished top of the base and the post extends down through both holes in the base. Overall height is about 11.5 inches.
