Pottery - My First Attempt

[star4]

We bought some air drying clay for the kids to have a go at making things and I joined in. Apart from thumb pots at school (looooooooong time ago) I have never done anything like this before. I was quite please with myself

Those are the hardest parts, for sure!

One tip I picked up on the net a few years ago is, if you make eyeballs first and let them dry, you can push them into the head and mould the eyelids round them, it's much easier

And, if they go wrong, it makes less of a mess of the face when you redo them!
