Davy Jones
I chose to make Davy Jones out of pure nostalgia. We were assigned to make animals/mythological creatures. I knew he would be a good challenge. I had been wanting to make him before I even began my Intro to Handbuilding class and this was my chance.

Step 1: Make basic form
Step 2: Hollow
I knew he was going to be gigantic. I could not bear him being only decorative. I have tons of decorative things at home and not much space at all. So I decided to make him a cookie jar. This made by leaving his shoulders intact and hollowing out from the bottom.
Step 3: Add tentacles
Step 4: Add some barnacles
Step 5: Make the pirate hat
Step 6: Bisque Fire
Step 7: Final fire
