Personally, I'd love to see a Dick Butt made from clay. Preferably with an inscription reading "the internet made me do it".

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

I was gonna say penis but I like yours better

[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago (1 children)

a tardigrade sitting like buddha

[–] case_when@feddit.uk 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This... sounds kinda awesome.

[–] CanadaPlus@futurology.today 2 points 10 months ago

What's it sitting on? A copepod maybe?

[–] Bruisedback@kbin.social 27 points 10 months ago

Mushrooms. The first few will probably be pretty rough, but you'll quickly start to see the possibilities with different textures, shapes, adding gills underneath, etc. If the clay is different colors you can get buck wild. After fewer than you think you'll probably be pretty good at them. You can even screw in a hook at the top and turn them into ornaments for friends and family if that's your thing.

An improved version of Michelangelo's David.

David 2: This one is all dick

[–] EmergMemeHologram@startrek.website 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Please include a butthole.

After watching Cunk on Earth I feel this is a travesty in the world of art.

[–] Lmaydev@programming.dev 21 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Obviously a giant cock and balls. Start simple and add details as you go.

[–] lemmy_nightmare@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

I see you are a man of culture as well

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Aim for "A mess" and see what happens.

[–] case_when@feddit.uk 7 points 10 months ago

At last, something achievable.

[–] averyminya@beehaw.org 13 points 10 months ago

Law dictates you make a bong while recreating the scene from Ghost.

However if you cannot accomplish this, an acceptable alternative is to watch S1 E19 of Community and make something alongside the students.

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 11 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Can't go wrong with a nice porcelain butt plug.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Is 2kg enough? For a normal person it might be, but I'm asking for OP

[–] ares35@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

640g ought to be enough for anybody

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

It will hint at being usable, but one should not put stuff into ones body that can break to shards.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 9 points 10 months ago

If you want to learn, make a skull. If you want anything complete, someone suggested an ashtray and I agree.

[–] SOB_Van_Owen@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago

A scale model of Devil's Tower, Wyoming. It would mean something.

[–] SoftScotch@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

An ashtray!

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago

Make a sculpture of one of your hands

[–] PRUSSIA_x86@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The biggest, flattest, thinnest sheet you can make.

[–] CanadaPlus@futurology.today 8 points 10 months ago

Instructions unclear, clay blown away by optical radiation pressure.

Stupid autocorrect, meant Dildo!

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Stupid autocorrect, meant Dido, Queen of Carthage.

You mean metal legend Dio?

[–] whaleross@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The face of Jesus in my soup.

[–] case_when@feddit.uk 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

But I was hoping to be done with all that...

[–] athos77@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Variation: a soup bowl with a sculpted bottom so that you serve someone their soup and they slowly discover the lurking horror/humor as they eventually work their way down. Can also use for dips, nuts or small candies.

Also, we shall require pictures of your endeavors in a couple of days.

[–] pugsnroses77@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago
[–] LoamImprovement@beehaw.org 4 points 10 months ago

Make a diorama of kids getting mauled by bears because they made fun of that bald guy in the Bible.

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

A soup bowl with phone stand, chopstick holder and spoon holder. Maybe even add a handle to grab it, when it's too hot. The ultimate bowl.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

Throw the clay as hard as you can up against a wall and if it sticks ... place a little artist signature just below it and paint a frame around it

As long as you Ghost it doesn’t matter.

[–] BananaPeal@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

Snakes: Easy Street.

[–] FunkyMonk@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago

Adam Smasher vs Scott Pilgrim.

[–] CanadaPlus@futurology.today 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

A layer completely covering yourself. Once baked, this will preserve valuable ethnographic information for future archeologists. /s

Too soon?

Oil lamps are not very complicated to make. And could be useful.

[–] chaorace@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 10 months ago

A self-portrait. If it turns out unrecognizable, just move the goalposts and tell the viewer that it's a depiction of their mum.
