3D

This is the second piece of work we did in 3D and I'm not as happy with this one as I was with the first one.  The clay I used in this one had also been used for the one before so it kept on cracking and didn't stick together very well.  To make this piece better I need to use different clay as that will work a lot better.
         This was made by coiling which is where you create a worm like shape out of the clay; swirl it around and build it up until it's as high as you want it.  I smoothed down the edges so it looks neater but because the clay was cracking it didn't smooth out very well.  Mid way through the process I realized I was coiling outwards rather than inwards so I had to turn it upside down to prevent it from falling down.
