I love monkeys soooo much. Lately this photo has really been calling my name! This is literally me!

2 Truths And 1 Lie

desantiagosophia647 — 2023-09-05 16:19:57 UTC

1. I love birds but there second to monkeys
2. I love pizza and making it
3. I went through the whole ceramics process right there without them noticing.
The lie was I love birds I actually hate them so much especially seagulls

desantiagosophia647 — 2023-09-22 15:05:23 UTC

Butterfly wings

Not relveant anymore to my scupture piece but it can stay I suppose

Wings

desantiagosophia647 — 2023-10-25 15:06:52 UTC

Made both of the wings using the technique I was taught yerp

Butterfly Body

desantiagosophia647 — 2023-10-25 15:08:46 UTC

I was looking at the photo and observed how the body looked like and I found the best way to build it for me was piecing it togther worked best for me

Progress photo

desantiagosophia647 — 2023-10-25 15:09:33 UTC

This photo shows my wings and the butterfly body so lit!

Body and Wings

desantiagosophia647 — 2023-10-25 15:10:25 UTC

I spent some time thinking of how I was going to place them togther put for now it lives like this

Flipping Background

desantiagosophia647 — 2023-10-25 15:11:17 UTC

I flipped the background to start attaching things

Pondering

desantiagosophia647 — 2023-10-25 15:12:01 UTC

I had a change in heart of the meaning of my piece but pondering the placement of everything

Scoring Things on

desantiagosophia647 — 2023-10-25 15:14:02 UTC

Do you ever throw a really thin bowl and accidently break it and then realize wow that looks a lot better than the other little pieces I had because they were pretty thick but it looks better now because there thin? me too. Anyways me scoring stuff on

Miscellaneous Photo

desantiagosophia647 — 2023-10-30 16:11:28 UTC

Gauze wings

desantiagosophia647 — 2023-10-30 16:15:57 UTC

Attaching the gauze onto the wings not yet attached onto the body

Attaching yass

desantiagosophia647 — 2023-10-31 16:28:18 UTC

Slipping and attaching my silly little pieces yassssss

Organizing, Pondering..

desantiagosophia647 — 2023-10-31 16:36:25 UTC

Not attached the wings but just pondering on placement

All attached

desantiagosophia647 — 2023-11-03 18:05:49 UTC

Attached all of my pieces and such. Not completely cleaned up I think

Final Product

desantiagosophia647 — 2023-11-03 18:25:45 UTC

I am sensitive and I feel fragile. I feel so small compared to my big emotions. But I keep it all in. And when I let it out it doesn't end well. Like a dropped bowl shattering. I feel bad. But I don't know how to regulate my emotions. My desire to leave is strong, to go somewhere. Maybe that would fix it all.

Cutting out silly little pieces

Attaching squggile

desantiagosophia647 — 2023-12-05 17:14:35 UTC

Also done at home over break yippe

Feeling quirky

desantiagosophia647 — 2023-12-05 17:15:48 UTC

Anybody else feeling quirky and goofy? Me too

More feeling quirky

desantiagosophia647 — 2023-12-05 17:16:09 UTC

I’m dead 😹

Pondering

desantiagosophia647 — 2023-12-05 17:16:36 UTC

Pondering as hell. Pondering about placement

Attaching

desantiagosophia647 — 2023-12-06 18:06:51 UTC

Hohoho I’m feeling jolly

Starting

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-02-07 06:10:29 UTC

Wow this is me cutting my hand out from the wedge

rounding or something like that

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-02-07 06:10:48 UTC

She’s still rough yikes. But we all start somewhere or something like that

Nail

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-02-07 06:11:08 UTC

Wow I did this nail but it’s rough looks to be quite honest!

More nails

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-02-07 06:11:28 UTC

wow now I have nails on two of my fingers. Anyone else just wanna ball their eyes out?

More and more

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-02-07 06:11:45 UTC

Now three of my fingers have nails and I’m shaving down my pinky to make it well look more like my pinky.

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-02-07 06:14:07 UTC

My pinky is back on but she’s a little rough but she also have a finger nail so go me I guess. I also pulled my thumb forward but it’s truthfully maybe still a little rough looking but I also added more clay to my thumb thicker area no seen in this photo.

Adding and Subtracting

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-02-14 06:56:50 UTC

Making parts that’s need to be thicker well thicker and subtracting clay from certain areas as well with all of my finger nails done too!

I have no idea what I’m doing!

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-02-14 06:58:48 UTC

You were absent this day so I had no idea what I was doing. Two of my fingers fell off but like I carved in those lines on my hand. I have no idea what I’m doing!

I know what I’m doing!

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-02-14 07:03:18 UTC

I needed a helping hand. haha get it? Sliced my hand in half and started to carve out clay to hollow it in the bottom half of my hand.

Continued

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-02-14 07:03:25 UTC

Hollowing out my hand and poking holes where the fingers are and are supposed to go! Look at me go!

Needle

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-02-14 07:03:33 UTC

This actually has nothing to do with my progress other than the fact the needle came out while I’ll was hollowing my hand out and that’s like funny I guess

Sculpting the face

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-03-11 15:30:10 UTC

She’ll yeah! I kinda struggled this part trying to figure out to translate like how dolphins faces look onto the clay and I just like realized carving away and like adding some gave it the look I was looking for

Tis the sea-son

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-03-11 15:30:54 UTC

I’m sculpturing this dolphin to put onto a bowl because I think it would be cool and like sea themed are so oddly popular within pottery it’s like radical

Attaching Fin and Tail Fin

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-03-19 05:46:31 UTC

Feeling Fin-Tastic with these attachments going on. The head shape looking great. At this point the tail isn’t very accurate but like it will trust and I just need a base to go with

Tail!

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-03-19 05:46:49 UTC

This is looking turtle-y radical with the tail fins being attached on but also carving away to give it a more proper shape for the dolphin.

More fins being attached

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-03-19 05:47:20 UTC

Are you squidding me? This is dolphin looks great! I added both of the side fins and like look at the wait it holds it self like I’m so happy with it

Hollowing

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-03-19 05:47:48 UTC

Looking like sushi to be honest! Hollowing this was somewhat of a process I had to do it in thirds but like I made it work poked some holes you know the usual

Bowl wave

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-03-19 05:48:09 UTC

When there’s a will, there’s a wave and I had my beloved Piper Lane throw this bowl for me and trim how kind! I had her push the lip over to make it a wave and with Pinterest reference photos I determined that I use slip to create the wave foam part

First dolphin attachment

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-03-19 05:48:24 UTC

I was shore that this was going to be the move for the dolphin but functionality duh! Avery chose the placement but like people obviously still want a functional bowl cute idea though!

Ride the Wave

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-03-19 05:48:43 UTC

This is whale done! I’m love the dolphin riding the wave it’s such a nicer functional look for it! Added some more foam to the dolphin to make it look like it’s on it you know?

Final (?) Product!

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-03-20 07:14:22 UTC

No more sea or ocean jokes it’s krill-ing me. But like wow this is so cute I’m like so proud of this. The dolphin riding the wave looks good like the only thing I was unsure of is how waves almost like have lines(?) going up with it but I just couldn’t not translate it just by myself. But like other than that wow!!!

Other angles

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-03-20 07:17:29 UTC

Kelp me I think the sea puns are hurting me. But like wow these angles and photos make the bowl look great. The bottom right is a personal favorite kinda looks like a wave going onto the shore?

Drawings!

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-04-04 03:45:44 UTC

I’m just a girl who likes to reuse ideas!? But then Kate was like what if you like lowkey combined the last two and I was like omg so real

Final Piece

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-04-16 21:34:41 UTC

wow like wow… A beautiful bubble glaze of linh-sanity, selsor chun, and like the tiniest amount of a D15 Stroke and coat

Starting to put layers from original mask base

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-05-21 18:15:45 UTC

Adding more features

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-05-21 18:16:15 UTC

I gave it some form of eyes, eyebrows, and lips

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-05-21 18:16:35 UTC

Gluing on peas

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-05-21 18:17:11 UTC

Gluing these peas on for my add one to give my mask more raised parts to look my interesting

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-05-21 18:17:33 UTC

Contrasting white

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-05-21 18:17:48 UTC

Putting white dots on where I had the peas

More dots and lines!

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-05-21 18:18:05 UTC

Putting dots on where the peas aren’t to fill more space up did some lines as well. Used the rub one to make the lips and nose stand out. Some blush as well

Start of yassification

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-05-21 18:18:38 UTC

We have lashes! That you can’t really see. I started gluing on the purple shells (?)

Adding On

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-05-21 18:18:52 UTC

Starting to add on add ons

Adding Quirk to it

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-05-29 17:53:13 UTC

Wow such gorgeous lashes and she’s kinda baby

Attaching more

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-05-29 17:54:36 UTC

Wow she’s so baby girl with the lace, flowers like ok cute, crystals are cute too!!

MORE!

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-05-29 17:55:33 UTC

I genuinely blacked out when adding attachments. Not a single thought behind my eyes just gluing and making

Final Photo (?)

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-05-29 17:56:00 UTC

This is what I have as of now! I wish I had white feathers

Pinch Pots

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-10-02 03:51:02 UTC

I made these pinch pots and then we have to make a critter out of two of them using the slip and scoring method

My handsome son

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-10-02 03:52:36 UTC

I was going for a cat because I love to make them but also he’s kinda evil and he’s kinda dseal?

Side angle

desantiagosophia647 — 2024-10-02 03:53:13 UTC

He’s also kinda rat too but whatever
