Teraphim : legs

Since the last post I’ve wanted to get my hands on some clay. Unfortunately it’s messy, and needs lots of working. So I plumped for the air dry stuff, which is actually horrible to work with, but I started building part of this rustic creature’s feet, legs and bottom…then running out of material.

Weirdly, I think the rustic texture suits this subject. It’s sort of primal. Ok, it’s obviously malformed but the process of making this was still a joy, each impression I think of the hands that have done this before me. I loved making this ugly, rough figure. Just need to do it with actual clay next…
