My initial designs.

# data[].attributes.body
To make the base I flattened a big piece of clay and cut it into a shape of a rectangle. Then with the remaining clay I made smaller rectangles and started to silt and scour the clay to connect the pieces together.

# data[].attributes.body
I finished connecting the pieces of the base together and smoothing it out with a wet sponge. Then I rounded the corners so it wouldn't chip off.

I made an oval out of clay then hollowed it out with a tool. Then I made a flat strip of clay, cut it to the size I wanted and wrapped around the bottom of the clay figure. Then I made two circles out of clay and placed them on the top of the clay figure as ears. I made another pair of circles and put them in the middle of the clay figure to act as hands.

I made a rounded triangle out of clay to mimic a rice ball and hollowed it out. Then I made a flat strip of clay, cut it to size and wrapped it around the bottom of the triangle to mimic the seaweed of a rice ball.

# data[].attributes.body
I made another oval out of clay and hollowed it out. I made smaller ovals to act as legs and arms and attached them to the sides of the oval. Then I made a flat strip of clay, cut it to size and wrapped it around the oval.

# data[].attributes.body
I made an oval out of clay and hollowed it. Then I made two almond shapes of of clay and attached then on the top of the oval. Then I made four small ovals out of clay and added them to of oval to act as legs and arms.

# data[].attributes.body
I fattened a slab of clay, cut it to the shape of a trapezoid and rounded the corners. Then I made two flat circles of of clay and attached it on the bottom of the trapezoid to act as feet. Then I hallowed it out.

# data[].attributes.body
I made an oval out of clay and hollowed it out. Then I flattened a piece of clay, cut a circle out of it and cut it down to the size I wanted. Then placed it on the bottom of the oval so there would be a half circle on the bottom of the oval.  Then I made two rectangles out of clay and cut triangles of of it to made penguin feet. Then I put them at the bottom of the oval. Then I made two small ovals and placed them in the middle of the oval to act as hands. Then I made a smaller oval and placed it near the top of the oval and cut it in the middle to look like a beak.

# data[].attributes.body
Ghost: I flattened a slab of clay and cut the shape of the ghost out. Then I flattened a piece of clay and cut it into two rectangles. One was shorter than the other but longer. Then I put it in the ghost in a way that made it look like an apron. Then I got two pieces of clay and placed the both on top of the ghost and apron to act as hands. Then I hallowed it out.
Bird: I made an oval out out clay and hallowed it out. Then I made a small triangle of of clay, rounded the corners and placed it on the oval to act as a beak. Then I made two tear drops of of clay and attached them to the sides of the oval to act as wings. Then I made four small ovals of clay and paired them into twos to look like little Vs. Then I put them at the bottom of the oval to act as feet.
Cat: I made an oval out of clay and hallowed it out. Then I made two triangles out of clay and put them on top of the oval to act as ears. Then I got five small pieces of clay, one to be the mouth and nose, two to be the hands, and the last two to be the feet. Then I put the pieces in their respective places.

# data[].attributes.body
I made an oval out of clay and hallowed it out. Then I made a smaller oval out of clay and put it near the top of the oval to be its nose. Then I got four other pieces of clay to be two hands and two feet. Then I put them in their respective places.
I flattened a piece of clay and cut it out in a way that made it look like a piece of grass. Then I used two pieces of clay to act as hands by putting them in the middle of the piece of grass.
I made a circle of of clay and hollowed it out. Then I got four pieces of clay an put them on circle in a way that made them look like hands and feet.
Then I flipped the base and started to arrange the little clay pieces I made on top of the base.

# data[].attributes.body
I put some holes in the characters where the clay might have been too thick and only covered them up on the outside. Adjusted placement of characters and attached them to the base by making holes in the base under where I put the characters. Then I silt and scour under each of the characters and the areas where I was putting them. After connecting them I smoothed it out with a wet sponge.

# data[].attributes.body
The characters I made are sumikkogurashi characters which are the characters living a quiet and solitary life in the corner. They all have very simplistic designs which is something that I like most about them. I don't like things that are too complicated which can be seen through my art style which is very simplistic. I also hate drawing or drawings with a realistic art style, I don't know why I just don't. I prefer art that is more cartoony and more stylistic. There is no hidden meaning behind my piece and that's probably because I'm not really a complex person. I just really like small cute simple things. The reason I chose to make sumikkogurashi characters is because I've been seeing the a lot around me. When I went to a store to by some stationery supplies they were all over the place. They were on the mechanical pencils, erases, notebooks, and there where even some keychains with sumikkogurashi characters them on.

I cut shapes that could make a simple swan origami when put together.
- 2 triangles
- 2 pentagons

# data[].attributes.body
Then I slip and score the pieces together to make it look like a swan origami.

# data[].attributes.body
I made a lot of them and tried to stack them together but they would not stay up when I staked them.

# data[].attributes.body
So tried again with smaller wings.

# data[].attributes.body
Then I slip and score the pieces together to make it look like a swan origami.

# data[].attributes.body
But with these ones I couldn't find out how to stack them.

# data[].attributes.body
I made a square base out a slab of clay.

# data[].attributes.body
I rounded the corners of the base and added small square slabs to mimic square origami paper.

# data[].attributes.body
I tried making 2D swan origami puzzle pieces to make it easier to stack them.

# data[].attributes.body
Then I made a lot of them.

# data[].attributes.body
Then I tried to stack them but they ended up not staying up.

# data[].attributes.body
Then I added legs to my base.

# data[].attributes.body
Then I made 2 circles out of slabs and connected them with 2 rectangle slabs. Then added 2 swans to the side of the top circle and made 2 shapes that looked like origami paper boats.

# data[].attributes.body
Then I added one of the swans to the top base.

# data[].attributes.body
Then I made another base with 2 circles and 4 rectangular slabs and I also added the boats.

# data[].attributes.body
The last base I made had clay that was too soft so it fell apart. So I made a new base and it worked.

# data[].attributes.body
I traced my hand out of clay and cut out the hand. Then I shaved down the fingers.

# data[].attributes.body
I smoothed out the fingers.

# data[].attributes.body
I carved in the palm and in between the fingers.

# data[].attributes.body
I added fingernails, details, and pulled the thumb forward

# data[].attributes.body
I added details to hand

# data[].attributes.body
I cut the hand in half and hollowed it out.

# data[].attributes.body
Then I put the two halves back together.

# data[].attributes.body
I added more details

# data[].attributes.body
Smoothed out the majors

# data[].attributes.body
Added the minors

# data[].attributes.body
Added the minors

# data[].attributes.body
I smoothed out the minors and the pinkie fell off again.

# data[].attributes.body
I made my bowl by making a ball of clay and cutting it in half. Then I carved out the center.

# data[].attributes.body
I thinned out the sides.

# data[].attributes.body
Then I added the foot of the bowl.

# data[].attributes.body
I made the different parts of the sculpture that I wanted to add to my bowl.

# data[].attributes.body
Then I put the different parts in the bowl to see what it would look like.

# data[].attributes.body
I started plan how I would add the legs.

# data[].attributes.body
I started adding details to the different parts.

# data[].attributes.body
Then I hollow out the main body of my sculpture.

# data[].attributes.body
Then I hollowed out the arms. I tried to hollow out the legs but it was too difficult so I scraped the legs. Then I added the arms with holes that go through both the arms and body.

# data[].attributes.body
I redid the face.

# data[].attributes.body
Then I added some lines for details.

# data[].attributes.body
Then I sealed the holes since there were holes on the inside.

# data[].attributes.body
Then I added more lines to mimic mimic stitches so it would look like a rag doll.

# data[].attributes.body
I added 2 balls of clay with a ring of clay around them for eyes. Then I added cones on the bowl as teeth.

# data[].attributes.body
Then I added a strip of clay to hide the top of the teeth.

# data[].attributes.body
I did the same thing I did for the bowl but for a lid instead.

# data[].attributes.body
For the top of the lid I made a bunch of noodles out of clay and shaped them into squiggles of the top of the lid to make it look like a brain.

# data[].attributes.body
I continued until I was covered.

# data[].attributes.body
Then I removed the extra clay from inside the lid.

# data[].attributes.body
I covered a mask in paper mache

# data[].attributes.body
I made the outline of my design for my mask.

# data[].attributes.body
I used the outline to make a cardboard cutout of my mask.

# data[].attributes.body
I started adding depth to the mask.

# data[].attributes.body
I attached the paper mache mask to the cutout and added more depth.

# data[].attributes.body
Added more depth.

# data[].attributes.body
Added more tape to better reinforce it.
