Lately i've been missing the 3D world so I got out some clay and this is the unfired result (I haven't worked with clay for so long it is highly probable that this will crack in the firing process--if I can get it to a kiln we will see.....). (In case you can't tell) yes, pelicans again, something about the beauty of a bird hidden in the awkwardness of a semi-bald, pudgy chick.
As far as construction goes-- I started solid, cut it into 3 pieces (head, body left, body right), hollowed it out and re-attached.
