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

I was gonna say penis but I like yours better

[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 27 points 9 months ago (1 children)

a tardigrade sitting like buddha

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

This... sounds kinda awesome.

[–] CanadaPlus@futurology.today 2 points 9 months ago

What's it sitting on? A copepod maybe?

[–] Lmaydev@programming.dev 21 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

I see you are a man of culture as well

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Aim for "A mess" and see what happens.

[–] case_when@feddit.uk 7 points 9 months ago

At last, something achievable.

[–] averyminya@beehaw.org 13 points 9 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.

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

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago

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

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 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 9 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 9 months ago

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

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 7 points 9 months ago

Make a sculpture of one of your hands

[–] SoftScotch@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

An ashtray!

[–] PRUSSIA_x86@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The biggest, flattest, thinnest sheet you can make.

[–] CanadaPlus@futurology.today 8 points 9 months ago

Instructions unclear, clay blown away by optical radiation pressure.

Stupid autocorrect, meant Dildo!

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Stupid autocorrect, meant Dido, Queen of Carthage.

[–] RvTV95XBeo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

You mean metal legend Dio?

[–] whaleross@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The face of Jesus in my soup.

[–] case_when@feddit.uk 1 points 9 months ago

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

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 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.

[–] LoamImprovement@beehaw.org 4 points 9 months ago

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

[–] BananaPeal@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

Snakes: Easy Street.

As long as you Ghost it doesn’t matter.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 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

[–] chaorace@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 9 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.

[–] sndrtj@feddit.nl 1 points 9 months ago

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

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

Too soon?

[–] Paragone@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The TARDIS, outside AND inside, even though its bigger on the inside....

Seriously, though, Betty Edwards' "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, the 4th Definitive Edition", would be a major augmentation of your exploring, and faces are what most people are wired-for best.

( I'm face-blind: I didn't know ANYONE could identify another person by their face, until I was in my 30's or 40's, & read about that.

I've always used context+way-of-moving+how-the-sound+clothing+etc to figure it out )
