My Animal morphing sculpture became a horse morphing into a three-headed serpent/dog with peacock tail feathers and turtle flippers. It's my biggest sculpture by far. It's maybe close to a foot and a half. It's kind of heavy as well. But I'm almost done and I'm feeling pretty proud of it. I've been putting in quite a bit of work.
I wanted to "go big or go home" essentially, I really wanted to go out of my comfort zone and create something amazing with new techniques and such. I wanted to increase my skills in a sense. The hardest part would have to be putting the heads on the necks. The heads were heavier and pulled off some of the coils. Through persistence I managed to keep them on. I used some newspaper to keep the body and necks from caving into each other.
My animal looks a bit like a dinosaur mixed in with a bit of the lochness monster. It seems to be a bit wide but hopefully it will fit in the kiln.
