A little bit about the project: We were told to pick 3-5 objects (of our choice) and connect them in a way that we saw fit. My three objects were a moon, a pangolin, and a wing. The pangolin is coming through the moon and the wing is connected to the tip (which will hang on the wall above the sculpture), so all three are interconnected.


This is a project I have been working on for the last 3 weeks in ceramics class. Mind you the pangolin you see attached cracked off at the connection between the moon (the tip, which also contains a wing, will hang on the wall, hence why you see a flat side because it's supposed to butt up against the wall) and where it was connected 2 days ago due to the fact this 'itch weighs close to 35-40 lbs in total thanks to all of the wet clay.

Each scale was done by hand and it took many a long hour to get it done. I'm hoping and praying I don't go back to class tomorrow to find a crack running through where I reattached it again (I have props set up to keep it hopefully from going anywhere). If it does crack, I have no choice but to fire them separately because the joint isn't going to hold.

*sighs* This is the problem with working large scale, things get too dang heavy. If it does hold out, I have plans on how I want to slip and glaze everything ^^.
