"Lemon and Opal"
AM Pottery Camp
clay
Talia says,
"the little cat's name is Lemon and the big cat's name is Opal."
Talia says she was inspired to create this piece because she likes cats. She carefully sculpted the body, and used a pin tool to create the whiskers, stripes, eyes, and other details. Talia studied pictures of cats to make her sculptures more realistic, and she showed great attention to detail.
Talia routinely would take away parts of the sculpture, crumple them up, and start over. The final product is the result of nearly three weeks of hard work!
