clay rabbit sculpture

For this experiment I want to make a rabbit clay sculpture based off of the Alice in Wonderland adaptation. It will be in a little tailcoat, along with its famous pocket watch and a detailed overcoat. 

This is a detailed plan of how I would Tackle this idea, about what I would do to build up my sculpture: I went with 3 pinch pots for the body and the head, using two to make a spherical body to then mould into the shape needed for the body, and then a third pinch pot for the head.  

The next photo is of my unrefined sculpture, at the time of the photo it was still rather soft so I had to wait for it to go leather hard so I could work on it and refine it to make it smoother and add in details to the face and jacket, like in the plan I had.  

 The third photo is after I had applied decorative white slip to the piece, it is used to help lighten the clay for when I am able to glaze it once it has been fired, the purpose of that is to make the glaze colours much stronger than what they would have been on the duller coloured clay.

So far I'm happy with this piece, with how much I've managed to complete and with the quality of it too a this is the first time I've done a full sculpture however it did take a while to get this far at around 4 hours.  

It was able to be fired in time, however I sadly was not able to glaze this piece due to the later firing, I would have added colour in relation to my plan- primarily red but adding a few gold accents, while also adding texture to the white in the piece.
