This week I continued working on my clay cup. It was now leather hard, so it was good to work with. I emphasised the releif of the snake coil (making sure that the thinnest parts didn't become too weak). I also made the bottom part, and added the head. For the head, I decided not to make a mouth in order to keep my design "clean", and added the eyes by creating indentations at each side of the head, and adding some clay for the "eyebrow" ( I know, not the right word to use at all, but you get it; the area above the eyes).
Then I started carving the reptile scales. I want them to be darker than the rest of the glaze/slip/whatever I will be using, so I carve them before glazing.
I think it's starting to look nice, but I'm a bit afraid the tail will crack :/
Wellwell, here's how it looks for now:
