while the mug does have a functional ability i want it to remain an artifact, glaze it white and use it as a vase of sorts.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought I was done, but decided to add something to the hair to make the backside of the mug more detailed to counteract the details of the face. I wanted to experiment with other textures so I made leaves with little beads holding it in her hair.

# data[].attributes.body
putting it up high i figured would be ok due to the weight from the right side of the face, such as chin and nose. it is intended to hold three fingers.

# data[].attributes.body
made the handle by rolling long shape and flattening. made sure it was even, and edges were soft. I mimicked the shape and safely slipped and scored it from the top and bottom of the mug.

# data[].attributes.body
after repairs I made the bottom of the mug and made little support beams to hold it as it settled.

# data[].attributes.body
I left town for a while, came back and all the moisture I had added to the mug caused it to soften quite a bit. That and a mix of gravity caused the weight of the head to collapse and crack around the neck

# data[].attributes.body
I rolled out general shapes that I scored to the rim of the mug/ top of the head. I used the wooden tool to shape it into sections, adding a widows peak and sections

# data[].attributes.body
I had to dig into the nose from the bottom of the mug, it was in a tight angle that made it hard to fully deepen. I decided to remove the bottom of the nose to hollow it more, I then patched it back up and formed its shape again

# data[].attributes.body
carving between each eye socket and deep in the nose took a while, but I wanted to ensure the survivability of the piece. I later smoothed it out with a sponge.

# data[].attributes.body
i made it to the bottom, leaving a hole at the bottom that i would have to cover up later.

# data[].attributes.body
I used a digging tool and twisted it around to begin the process of hollowing the head. I wanted to do it before I added any more detail to the face because I knew it would likely get misshapen in the process.

# data[].attributes.body
I started by deepening where eyes would be and where cheekbones sink. rounding the nose was difficult and I had to find a way to hollow it out with the rest of the head. wooden tool was used for lip lines. I wanted the cheeks to be fuller, so I had to add more clay while it was soft to the lower half of the face, when it was narrow it looked unnatural.

# data[].attributes.body
I tried the dugout method starting with a cylinder of clay and molded it into a sphere with a base. I defined a general face shape which eventually got to this point where features were more in tact. i only used my hands, by this point no tools were used.

Gears represent repetitive thoughts and battling OCD. I have to pretend to be a warrior against my own thoughts everyday which is why I chose the sword.the leaves on the sides are shaping wings as if going above the gears. I look forward to putting it up in my wall to look at as a reminder of strength. I want it to be a positive message about my struggles rather than a negative one.

# data[].attributes.body
I rolled cylindrical shapes of three varying sizes and used a wire to cut disk like shaped to make the different gears. Using a reference I was mocking and taking inspiration from real life designs. I waited until they were leathery while in general desired shape then added more details. Leveling and carving. I wanted more depth so carved more gears for composition purposes. I will now carve up towards the top to make leaf, winglike shapes

# data[].attributes.body
I made a carrot shaped form for the body of the sword and stretched to make longer vertically. Once at desired length I focused if the general thickness and shape by rolling it flatter. After that I used my knife tool and meandered where I wanted etchings in the blade. I cut the sides to add depth and shape so I didn’t appear flat

# data[].attributes.body
The first part of the sword I made was the handle. Slot space was made under the back point and was later hollowed throughout the entirety of the backside
