Right! Today's silly little clay project is making the mastodon elephant based on a little doodle I did of it that may or may not be right idk. So far so good
So far so good. Gotta wait for him to dry a bit before carrying on though
He's got a little face and tiny holes for the tusks now
his hand is up like that because he's going to be holding a cocktail umbrella btw
fuckin love those little cocktail umbrellas
This guy is drying ok so should be able to do more tomorrow, and his cocktail parasols will be arriving so he can be fancy and sun safe

OK so the elephant now has legs and tusks but I could not get the balance right to make him stand so he's a lazy chap

Needs to dry then I can make him nice and smooth and shape him properly

Hehehehe
I have been asked why I would want to make this and my question is why would I not, look how happey he is with his lil umbrella, c'mon now
I sanded him a bit and added some more clay to shape him and give him a little belly and, well..

Being handed the power to make things is just too much for one person*

*this person specifically

Edit: I have taken his pert rear away again to ruminate upon the possibility because I had a vision which I must admit did not involve ripe elephant peaches

He's looking smoooooth
My magnum opus, my masterwork... I dedicate this one to you, my community.
In my defence here, this was very funny
Simple base layer applied. He yellow. 
The shine B E G I N S
@babe
So pretty!
*patiently waits for pics of the mastobutt* 
@babe Look at its little smile!
@babe That's a very spiffy shade of mustard! Looks a bit like my sleep-floof trunkington  (Trunkington was given a very spiffy jumper by @dusepo 💖)
@babe Oh Tiddy I "m in love with him/ her?🥰😂
@babe You’ve done it and looks great!! 👏
@babe The solution to the old joke about how an elephant hides in custard.
@babe so, uh, yellowcake?
@babe this is, indeed, quite funny. And quite well done, too, in both sculpture and photography (at least in the eyes of this layperson), which really elevates the humor. You are a fedi treasure. 😁
@babe hard agree, that's great
@babe LOOK AT THAT BOY LOOKING FABULOUS WITH HIS LIL UMBRELLA
@babe That is going to become the GlitterKitten.co.uk mascot (or whatever the bottom left image in Mastodon is called), right?
@babe I wish I was as happy as that little Goober :3
@babe what do the heads of the house opine? 
@babe Where should I send the check to? 😍👏
@babe You are getting good at this.
@babe omg, I love him and his adorable umbrella

@babe Everything should have a little cocktail umbrella.

If I had a packet of those I'd put them in every meal. Like an island of mash with a cocktail umbrella in it.

@babe They are the best umbrellas
@babe he looks like he's just finished showing me a magic trick and i love him
@babe this is super cute 👏 ☺️
@babe This is the first time I'm engaging in CW nagging, but those photos could really do with an NSFW tag
@babe lewdest masto logo ever, I love it
