Slot space was made under the back point and was later hollowed throughout the entirety of the backside]]> 2021-03-04 19:28:04 UTC https://padlet.com/bellberetta2016/IsabellaBeretta/wish/1270932463 bellberetta2016 https://padlet.com/bellberetta2016/IsabellaBeretta/wish/1270934204 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]]> 2021-03-04 19:28:26 UTC https://padlet.com/bellberetta2016/IsabellaBeretta/wish/1270934204 bellberetta2016 https://padlet.com/bellberetta2016/IsabellaBeretta/wish/1270938157 Hollowing process]]> 2021-03-04 19:29:15 UTC https://padlet.com/bellberetta2016/IsabellaBeretta/wish/1270938157 bellberetta2016 https://padlet.com/bellberetta2016/IsabellaBeretta/wish/1303686768 2021-03-12 18:05:03 UTC https://padlet.com/bellberetta2016/IsabellaBeretta/wish/1303686768 bellberetta2016 https://padlet.com/bellberetta2016/IsabellaBeretta/wish/1308060032 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]]> 2021-03-14 20:39:37 UTC https://padlet.com/bellberetta2016/IsabellaBeretta/wish/1308060032 bellberetta2016 https://padlet.com/bellberetta2016/IsabellaBeretta/wish/1351120413 Gears represent repetitive thoughts and battling OCD.

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.]]> 2021-05-06 02:41:14 UTC https://padlet.com/bellberetta2016/IsabellaBeretta/wish/1496472457 bellberetta2016 https://padlet.com/bellberetta2016/IsabellaBeretta/wish/1496474029 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.]]> 2021-05-06 02:41:41 UTC https://padlet.com/bellberetta2016/IsabellaBeretta/wish/1496474029 bellberetta2016 https://padlet.com/bellberetta2016/IsabellaBeretta/wish/1496475124 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.]]> 2021-05-06 02:42:09 UTC https://padlet.com/bellberetta2016/IsabellaBeretta/wish/1496475124 bellberetta2016 https://padlet.com/bellberetta2016/IsabellaBeretta/wish/1496477151 i made it to the bottom, leaving a hole at the bottom that i would have to cover up later. ]]> 2021-05-06 02:43:00 UTC https://padlet.com/bellberetta2016/IsabellaBeretta/wish/1496477151 bellberetta2016 https://padlet.com/bellberetta2016/IsabellaBeretta/wish/1496478075 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.]]> 2021-05-06 02:43:24 UTC https://padlet.com/bellberetta2016/IsabellaBeretta/wish/1496478075 bellberetta2016 https://padlet.com/bellberetta2016/IsabellaBeretta/wish/1496478861 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]]> 2021-05-06 02:43:44 UTC https://padlet.com/bellberetta2016/IsabellaBeretta/wish/1496478861 bellberetta2016 https://padlet.com/bellberetta2016/IsabellaBeretta/wish/1496479878 I rolled out general shapes that I scored to the rim of the mug/ top of the head.

That and a mix of gravity caused the weight of the head to collapse and crack around the neck]]> 2021-05-06 02:44:34 UTC https://padlet.com/bellberetta2016/IsabellaBeretta/wish/1496480617 bellberetta2016 https://padlet.com/bellberetta2016/IsabellaBeretta/wish/1496481806 after repairs I made the bottom of the mug and made little support beams to hold it as it settled.]]> 2021-05-06 02:45:01 UTC https://padlet.com/bellberetta2016/IsabellaBeretta/wish/1496481806 bellberetta2016 https://padlet.com/bellberetta2016/IsabellaBeretta/wish/1496482908 made the handle by rolling long shape and flattening. made sure it was even, and edges were soft.
