Personally, I'd love to see a Dick Butt made from clay. Preferably with an inscription reading "the internet made me do it".

a tardigrade sitting like buddha

This... sounds kinda awesome.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

What's it sitting on? A copepod maybe?

[โ€“] [email protected] 25 points 9 months ago

Mushrooms. The first few will probably be pretty rough, but you'll quickly start to see the possibilities with different textures, shapes, adding gills underneath, etc. If the clay is different colors you can get buck wild. After fewer than you think you'll probably be pretty good at them. You can even screw in a hook at the top and turn them into ornaments for friends and family if that's your thing.

Obviously a giant cock and balls. Start simple and add details as you go.

I see you are a man of culture as well

Aim for "A mess" and see what happens.

At last, something achievable.

Can't go wrong with a nice porcelain butt plug.

Is 2kg enough? For a normal person it might be, but I'm asking for OP

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

640g ought to be enough for anybody

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

It will hint at being usable, but one should not put stuff into ones body that can break to shards.

An ashtray!

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

A scale model of Devil's Tower, Wyoming. It would mean something.

Make a sculpture of one of your hands

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

If you want to learn, make a skull. If you want anything complete, someone suggested an ashtray and I agree.

The biggest, flattest, thinnest sheet you can make.

Instructions unclear, clay blown away by optical radiation pressure.

The face of Jesus in my soup.

But I was hoping to be done with all that...

Variation: a soup bowl with a sculpted bottom so that you serve someone their soup and they slowly discover the lurking horror/humor as they eventually work their way down. Can also use for dips, nuts or small candies.

Also, we shall require pictures of your endeavors in a couple of days.

A soup bowl with phone stand, chopstick holder and spoon holder. Maybe even add a handle to grab it, when it's too hot. The ultimate bowl.

Throw the clay as hard as you can up against a wall and if it sticks ... place a little artist signature just below it and paint a frame around it

Oil lamps are not very complicated to make. And could be useful.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

A self-portrait. If it turns out unrecognizable, just move the goalposts and tell the viewer that it's a depiction of their mum.

Adam Smasher vs Scott Pilgrim.

A layer completely covering yourself. Once baked, this will preserve valuable ethnographic information for future archeologists. /s

Too soon?
