On my controller i am creating, i took a big piece of clay, formed it into a block, and started carving into it. This is a lot easier than what my original plan of trying to just shape it instead. The art piece is obviously just a controller, and what i plan to do with it is make it a wall piece so that i can hang it on my wall. So far, the controller is coming out exactly how i expected it.
With this controller, i have one small problem, and that is when i leave it wrapped up, it gets to moist and it leaves my clay looking different than if it was dry, this problem isn't to bad, but most of the time when i go to work on this piece, i just have to reshape the things that i have carved out, and usually it doesn't come out as good as it was before.
