I made the trunk slightly shorter, this is my final piece after cleaning up all the edges and excess slip. I put a piece of clay under the handle just in case.

I slip and scored each part of the trunk that was attaching to the mug and slip and scored the mug where it was going to go. after attaching i used an end of a makeup brush to drill some holes in the top of the trunk

I wanted to remake the trunk because I wanted it to be a bit bigger and thicker and more even because the smaller one I didn't roll out very evenly.

I attached the ears, didn't need much slip and score because the ears were still very wet and so was the mug.

I finished off the eyes by adding the bottom eyelid and smoothing it out so it doesn't puff out as much.

this is the front of the mug. I started to shape the eyes and eyelids of the elephant mug

I slip and scored the feet to the mug and tried to place them evenly around

I started to make the elephants ears, they honestly look more like wings but I like them and think they are still gonna look cool.

I recreated the mug because I really didn't like how the first one turned out. this one is way more even all the way around, the slip worked a lot better and there are no gaps or anything.

I was struggling with curving the trunk without making it crack and I found it easier to do when it was laying down and very wet

I rolled out the trunk and poked 2 holes on the end of the trunk with a makeup brush to create the snout/nose

# data[].attributes.body
these are after I made all 4 feet and scooped out some excess clay from in between the toes to make them look more like toes.

# data[].attributes.body
I started to shape the feet of the elephant that I am going to be putting underneath the mug. I used a took to make the toes look so rounded.

# data[].attributes.body
this was my first mug, it turned out uneven all around because I rushed it

# data[].attributes.body
I want to do some sort of elephant mug with little feet on the bottom and the trunk as sort of the handle

I mainly focused on recreating this piece
