I needed to make my character before going to ceramics. I bought some air drying clay so that I can make my character from home. I have decided to base my character on the cat that I drew for my zine for Thought Bubble. The reason I chose to do that was because he is quite fairly simple character to make as I haven't really got much experience with using clay. Also, I didn't want to use an already existing character as it's not necessarily about who the character is but what is symbolizes. And I think by using a well known character it would distract from that.
I am pleased with how my character has gone. He is a little bit bumpy and needs fixing up a bit. Will have to wait and see how it drys. I have also made some other products using the clay to make the character have more of a product range and have more of a collection surrounding it. I made a candle holder and a small bowl. Which by making these extras have also helped me get better with using clay and know what works etc.
