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

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

I was gonna say penis but I like yours better

[–] Bruisedback@kbin.social 27 points 8 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.

a tardigrade sitting like buddha

[–] case_when@feddit.uk 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This... sounds kinda awesome.

[–] CanadaPlus@futurology.today 2 points 8 months ago

What's it sitting on? A copepod maybe?

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 24 points 8 months ago (1 children)

An improved version of Michelangelo's David.

David 2: This one is all dick

[–] EmergMemeHologram@startrek.website 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Please include a butthole.

After watching Cunk on Earth I feel this is a travesty in the world of art.

[–] Lmaydev@programming.dev 21 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

I see you are a man of culture as well

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Aim for "A mess" and see what happens.

[–] case_when@feddit.uk 7 points 8 months ago

At last, something achievable.

[–] averyminya@beehaw.org 12 points 8 months ago

Law dictates you make a bong while recreating the scene from Ghost.

However if you cannot accomplish this, an acceptable alternative is to watch S1 E19 of Community and make something alongside the students.

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

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] ares35@kbin.social 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

640g ought to be enough for anybody

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

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

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 9 points 8 months ago

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

[–] SOB_Van_Owen@lemm.ee 8 points 8 months ago

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

[–] SoftScotch@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

An ashtray!

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 7 points 8 months ago

Make a sculpture of one of your hands

[–] PRUSSIA_x86@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The biggest, flattest, thinnest sheet you can make.

[–] CanadaPlus@futurology.today 8 points 8 months ago

Instructions unclear, clay blown away by optical radiation pressure.

The face of Jesus in my soup.

[–] case_when@feddit.uk 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] athos77@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

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.

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago

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.

Stupid autocorrect, meant Dildo!

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Stupid autocorrect, meant Dido, Queen of Carthage.

[–] RvTV95XBeo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

You mean metal legend Dio?

[–] LoamImprovement@beehaw.org 4 points 8 months ago

Make a diorama of kids getting mauled by bears because they made fun of that bald guy in the Bible.

[–] Blackout@kbin.social 3 points 8 months ago

As long as you Ghost it doesn’t matter.

[–] BananaPeal@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago

Snakes: Easy Street.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 months ago

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

[–] FunkyMonk@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago

Adam Smasher vs Scott Pilgrim.

[–] Paragone@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The TARDIS, outside AND inside, even though its bigger on the inside....

Seriously, though, Betty Edwards' "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, the 4th Definitive Edition", would be a major augmentation of your exploring, and faces are what most people are wired-for best.

( I'm face-blind: I didn't know ANYONE could identify another person by their face, until I was in my 30's or 40's, & read about that.

I've always used context+way-of-moving+how-the-sound+clothing+etc to figure it out )

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

Too soon?

[–] sndrtj@feddit.nl 1 points 8 months ago

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