Here, I created a pizza box with a small 4 slice pizza inside, a pizza cutter, and a glass of wine.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
After rotating, a picnic basket and some flaps on the wine glass edges were added to my sculpture. I think the picnic basket added a really nice touch and it looked cute and smooth. Overall, the additions were great!

I had the original shapes and then cut them open to look like mouths. I folded the cut top of the crowns up through the original bottom to give them a cool look.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
I combined the embellished shapes into a larger star shape, going back to back and holding them together with slip to create the giant star. Although it was difficult to keep the integrity of the original pieces intact I tried my best

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
After feeling the object for a while I tried to recreate it to the best of my ability. I think I did a good job

Took scales off again to work on gills to make them better and more realistic

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
New gills close up, more clearly shows the difference in elevation 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Redid eye to make it more realistic & add depth, redid mouth to make it edges meeting instead of lines, shows depth elevation and more realistic detail

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Scale pattern added again, this time with completed gills, beginning to attach fins

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
All fins complete and fully attached, details smoothed out, scale line drawn, eye deepened

Cutting hand open in order to start hollowing it out

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Used long ribbon tool to hollow out the lower half of the hand while making sure to 1. Stay out of the way of the reconnection point, and 2. Get up into the thumb area to get as much as possible out of there. After this I poked holes in the thumb and covered them so they could act as vents.

Fishing is important in my life, and there's not just one thing i can attribute that to either. I could talk about it being a Father's Day tradition with my dad, a weekly activity to go out & spend time with my friends, a memory of my grandfather, or even symbolism in the form of a fish looking for a hook... all of these meanings fishing holds for me are integral the person i am today. It brought me and my dad closer together, allowed for deep, thoughtful conversations with my friends, and is one of the dearest memories i hold of my grandpa. But it's the symbolism i can relate to so much. When you're fishing, you're baiting the fishes in, because they are attracted to the hook. It feels like real life sometimes, like I'm a fish. Taking something I know isn't good for me, something I know could end up killing me, because it's good for a bit. The fishes always take the bait at some point, unable to resist the temptation of food despite the sharp hook hiding behind it. Some fishes get lucky and don't die; those fishes either learn their lesson or keep risking their lives for what they want. But what the fish in me knows is that the ecstasy of taking that bait is nowhere close to the pain that comes with the hook. Fishing draws so many parallels to my life; the largemouth bass I have sculpted represents this. 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Hollowed out both bottom and top half of hand, added needle holes in the fingers for better ventilation 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Using barrel bridges & slip and score method to reattach bottom and top halves of hand. Bridges placed in both halves to prevent folding in of clay when pressing down. Long "worm" of clay added onto the slip ozuna from the attachment point to late be removed and show no seam line.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Removing "worm" from cut area resulted in no visible seam line. Beginning work on knuckles with cuts at the spots my fingers bend, then backfilling with slip & clay in diamond shapes to create realistic knuckles.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Fingers are in place, hand is hollow, majors are sound, shape & volume accurate, nail beds complete; only thing left to do is let the piece dry, tool in some minors, and take a final picture.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Ring finger unfortunately broke off! However I think the final product still turned out great.

Early stages of just brainstorming with hands and clay, went from wanting a thrown bowl with little sculpted fish swimming attached to the walls to this. Wasn't sure where to begin so started with making a fish shape and liked how it looked so came up with the idea to make a bowl entirely out of 2 fish

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Letting fish shape sit in bowl to take shape 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Came up with the idea to add another fish on the inside of each larger fish that would be making up the walls of the bowl, going the opposite direction. This is a rough outline of how i want this smaller inside fish to look

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Preview of how i want finished product (minus scales) to look from the inside, with a clear separation between the smaller fish and outer larger fish

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
View of both fish sculptures together in the bowl, about to be attached 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
After letting clay dry a bit, adding scales to inside of bowl

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Dried scales with clear separation edges of inner fish, all area covered 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Bowl is pretty dry, can stand on its own, and only needs outer scales + some cleanup to finish

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Outside of bowl is completed with scales, less differentiated lines of fish make it a little more abstract but still the same fish. Almost done, just need to let dry and get final touches + photo in

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Finished product of sculptural bowl! Thought the scales turned out great. Liked the indistinguishable factor of the fins and head, my previous fish sculpture was very obvious in the distinction between body head and fins but this had the scales texture throughout and made for a more abstract yet really nice piece.

Adding volume to background of mask by: 1. Taping on large portions of newspaper, then 2. Sealing with layers of wheat pasted strips

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Adding depth changes to face after more layers are added. Starting to form complex shapes, shadows, and variations in height to the structure of mask

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Resembling human features but more pronounced, exaggerated, unnatural 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Using layering techniques + more strips to cover over holes, and give paper mash sections a smoother surface

Another add on to bring more "life" to the mask

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Features added and smoothed to finish. Ready to spackle

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Spackle is applied, sanded, and peas are starting to be added. Bringing out depth in areas with contrast

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Addition of peas across entire mask, beginning to paint 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Slight change in paint color to go for a more metallic brown copper look over the dark brown look it had previously. Entire mask is now covered and ready for a contrasting coat on peas

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Slight silver color for peas to contrast metallic copper, helps to highlight depth changes 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Starting add-ons with twine and green stones

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Additions of green stones, twine, glass mirror shards, beads all help to accentuate features and add a little extra touch. Projections and more danglies  to come
