Dogs and Stuff

   I have finished the new Oliver head and I must say  that the details are much better than the first one. I am going to keep my fingers crossed that this one does not blow up. I did not make it as thick this time and I hollowed it out a little thinner and smoother.
  I have also almost completed Tango. I need to add more to the head and actually add long ears. I was trying to go for a mask like affect but it was getting way to thin at the top. I think I accomplished getting the personality coming through and the nose is pretty good. I am learning how to get the small details but still having some problems getting the hair exactly right. I now worry about the thickness of the piece because of how the heat affects it in the kiln. 
  I feel that my sculptures are okay. I threw the pieces on the wheel and then added the texture and put them together. I wish they were a little larger but I think they are fine.  I gave a tree look or flower.
