Clay Bat (2021)

Art, character, Sculptures

In January 2021 my sister wanted to build some cute stuff with clay. Since I’ve always been and will always be in dark edgy witch stuff I obviously had to decide between a skull, a snake or a bat. Since I wanted to do something fluffy the bat was just my way to go.

So that’s what I did!

First, I roughly started to sketch him out. Afterwards I ran to garden & trapped some wire- then to the kitchen and took the tinfoil.

That’s how the base of the little bat, the skeleton was made.

Afterwards my sister and I got to the basement and started to form our little figures (she made a really cute turtle)

We just left them to dry a bit- and since we sadly do not own a clay oven they both were meant to just die and crumble into little dry clay pieces.

So no, this bat was never burned and painted (even though we probably still could have done something to make both figures last longer) but I still had a lot of fun with this little project.
