ALEBRIJES (starfish)

  • Wedge clay 

  • make a very large worm 

  • hollow out the underside 

  • and punch holes in it for the suction cups

  • repeat this four more times

  • make a ball and hollow out the underside 

  • make dents in the hollowed out circle for where you want the legs to go 

  • score and slip all the legs on to the center star

  • fire 

  • paint purple with acrylic paint

I had to remake my alebrije because its leg fell off and I am really sad because when I left it to be fired it was completely in tact so I don't know what happened to it. It might have cracked while it dried. But I was super disappointed because I think it looks a lot better than the second one I made on the bottom. I think I just thinned out the legs to much and I needed to add more clay on top of the middle to give  it dimension like the first one . I did enjoy this project because I love starfish and I made it really early so I had plenty of time to re make it.
