Added some dangelies.

# data[].attributes.body
Added a mirrored look

# data[].attributes.body
A closer look

# data[].attributes.body
Painted black with white beans, and added a glitter/pebble look

# data[].attributes.body
Finished the volume, spackled, smoothed and put beans on

# data[].attributes.body
More volume

# data[].attributes.body
Once I got all of the paper done, I started to build volume up

# data[].attributes.body
The cut out. I then bent it and folded it to mask a face structure

# data[].attributes.body
I started with the mask ever though I didn't end up using it.

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
cleaned up the edges and bent it a little further. hoping it stays put.

my footing work was a learning process and i often make it harder than it needed to be. my first set is made of a circular foot but the set for empty bowl has a square foot to match the bowl

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
made another set of three and started over on the balloon project 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
first successful bowl. had to use lots of bags to fill the space underneath 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
made a bowl but it had a ton of dips so i made another one to fill with slip beads 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
i left it out to dry outside for too long and the tips broke off

# data[].attributes.body
added the eye and smoothed the majors in the palm

# data[].attributes.body
added the eye

# data[].attributes.body
worked on the palm majors

# data[].attributes.body
tried to bend the finger, but it was too dry, had to slip and score it back on

# data[].attributes.body
after the slip dried

# data[].attributes.body
hollowed out

# data[].attributes.body
webbing

# data[].attributes.body
majors

# data[].attributes.body
worked on nails

holes to let the light shine through

# data[].attributes.body
I really struggled with the drying process on this piece. A lot of my pieces were too wet to form and sometimes too dry to bend. It was very difficult, and this is something I want to work on.

# data[].attributes.body
now I just need to clean it up a bit and take the final photos.

# data[].attributes.body
I then added little engravings in the side to look like grass.

# data[].attributes.body
I then added the holes for the light to shine through.

# data[].attributes.body
I made a thin slab and cut little circles in them. I would use these to add detail to the lid. When I slipped and scored these on, I had a ton of slip come out the sides. When I tried to clean it up, the brush made a cool texture around the circles, so I added more texture around them.

# data[].attributes.body
Then I slip and scored the thin triangle on top of the bottom. It was at this point where I decided to make it a lamp. I later cut off the top where light could shine through.

# data[].attributes.body
I next built the mushroom lid.

# data[].attributes.body
I then build a triangle because I noticed that a mushroom thinned out near the top of lid.

# data[].attributes.body
I scraped the idea. Kya pointed out that the half cylinder looked kind of like a mushroom bottom. So I added clay to the bottom to start making a mushroom

# data[].attributes.body
I then split them in half again and tried to make the top end wider. This did not work because the clay was too firm.

# data[].attributes.body
After slipping and scoring, I noticed that my clay was very hard and was not moving very much. Mr. Stout also mentioned that this would be very hard to do because if I pushed on the joint to make the bowing look, it would break.

# data[].attributes.body
Following help from mr. stout, I decided to make a giant slab and roll it. I had a hard time rolling a giant one so I made two and then would slip and score them together.

# data[].attributes.body
originally I was planning on making a Chinese lantern because it reminded me of my childhood where we would cut out paper and glue things together, it was mostly all slab.

# data[].attributes.body
On my last day, I built volume and fur in the ears and redirected the fur.

# data[].attributes.body
Wolves have always been somewhat around me growing up. They were my grandparents favorite animal. They had posters all over the house, wolf statues, and sculptures. This past year my grandpa passed away. He was a really important figure in my life and I struggled to let him go. With losing him, I realized that I was very dependent on those around me; and I tend to let my emotions be controlled by those around me. I find myself clinging to people. And in a time where I am forced to be independent, going to college and becoming an adult, I have been faced with emotional turmoil and inner conflict. When I first heard this project, the term "Lone wolf" came to mind. It might seem corny, but wolves live in packs and travel alone. The wolf reminds me that, while I may be traveling alone, I will always have my family to lean on.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought today would be my last day; however, Mr. Stout mentioned that the fur seems to be going up, when in reality, the fur goes down. And there needs to be more fur in the ears.

# data[].attributes.body
Like I mentioned before, I had to go back and add more volume to the ears.

# data[].attributes.body
It was then time to focus on the nose. Through the process I realized that they weren't perfect circles like I did on my first try, and then created the little edges under and surrounding the nose.  On this day I also curved the chin into the lips.

# data[].attributes.body
When I wanted to start on the fur, I realized that I'd rather take a more natural looks and followed Beth Carver's approach to fur. Kya also help me notice that the fur on the bottom layer was bigger than the fur on the top layer, which I went back and fixed

# data[].attributes.body
The ears were on, but still had a lot of work. it took me a while to understand that the ears need volume, like the fur. So I had to go back and add volume and fur.

# data[].attributes.body
ears from the side

# data[].attributes.body
After I hollowed it out, I started on the ears. This was a work in progress for a few days.

# data[].attributes.body
Once I had the bulk of the clay on, I began hallowing it out. This took me a few days because there was so much clay inside the head. It was so light once all the clay was out.

# data[].attributes.body
Guess what? More clay. I then began to add more clay around the head and under the snout so I could go back and carve out the fur. This took me some time because I found that wolves have layers of fur which I tried to recreate by doing layers of volume.

# data[].attributes.body
Went back and added depth in the corners of the eye

# data[].attributes.body
Both eyeballs from the front.

# data[].attributes.body
The first attempt at an eyeball

# data[].attributes.body
Attempts at the eyebrow ridge. Had to add more clay. this stage took me a while to complete because I had to find symmetry on both of the eyebrows. I redid these brows maybe like 15 times

# data[].attributes.body
Once again noticed I needed more clay on the lips and a little on the nose

# data[].attributes.body
the beginning of the chin and lips

# data[].attributes.body
Began adding more volume on the snout with very minimal detail

# data[].attributes.body
MORE CLAY

# data[].attributes.body
Added more and more clay under the nose and surrounding the head.

# data[].attributes.body
after realizing that the face is not where I needed to start, I began adding clay under the nose and around the head. (I started with a ball and a cone)

# data[].attributes.body
At first I was very confused and did not really have a direction, so I tried to build the eyebrows, cheek bones, and nose.

# data[].attributes.body
I am still working on building thicker lining of the ears, as well as building details on the nose! Almost there :)

# data[].attributes.body
added light fur on the face and in the ears

# data[].attributes.body
Next I added fur, which was inspired by Beth Carver. I also had to go back and build depth in the fur by making the top layer small strokes, and the bottom layer larger strokes.

# data[].attributes.body
While I didn't get a picture of behind the ears, I added some clay to add depth to the back of the head and make the ears stick on better.

# data[].attributes.body
slip and score the ears at an angle.

# data[].attributes.body
I then spent a block day working on the structure of the ears, which I eventually had to go back and add MORE volume (lol)

# data[].attributes.body
under the chin fur lines. I noticed on my references that the fur had layers, which I tried to recreate.

# data[].attributes.body
Following the eye, with lots of help from mr stout, I figured out that I needed more clay for the fur, that way I can go back and build negative space into my clay.

# data[].attributes.body
both eyes

# data[].attributes.body
a close up of the eye. again the other side I struggled with because of symmetry, and it took me longer on the left eye than it did on the right.

# data[].attributes.body
I spent quite a bit of time (and got a little frustrated) as I did the eyebrow ridge. At first I thought that just pressing in on where the eyeball would be would work to build the ridge, but through trial and error I found that once again I needed more volume and clay. This took me longer than expected because I had trouble with symmetry.

# data[].attributes.body
My next few days were spent by adding and adjusting the month, nose, and jowls.

# data[].attributes.body
my main goal for the following days was adding volume around the neck and building behind the head. For some reason this took me longer than expected because I had to add so much clay.

# data[].attributes.body
started by adding a cone to a sphere and building around the neck
