To learn figures we made miniature animals heads. I created mine to look like a Fennec Fox, which if you have never seen one has very large ears for the size of their small heads. Make this head for me was very challenging. I had the most trouble be able to get the large ears to stay up. The whole time sculpting this project I just wanted to finish because I just wasn't very inspired anymore. While my project was in the kiln one of the ears broke off, so to fix the fox I hot glued the ear back in place. Once I painted the over the ears you could hardly tell it had broken off. The one part of this project I enjoyed doing was painting the fox because painting help me enjoy the project more. I used acrylic paint, which is my favorite to use because it allows you to capture more details than glaze does. If I were to do this project over I of course would try to go back and resculpt the one ear that broke off because I feel like in the end I would have enjoyed this project more if the ears didn't cause me so much trouble.
