Tentacle!

So I had the intent yesterday of making a zombie or robot out of clay, but I decided a small tentacle would be an easier place to start with free-hand sculpting. I just finished up a powerpoint presentation on squid for my oceanography class, plus my friend felicia brought me back an adorable tentacle-finger from San Francisco, and I've been looking at clay octopus creations on etsy, so I've definitely had tentacles on the brain.

It took about a half hour or so to make. I made a hole in the top, so I can try to turn it into a pendant after I glaze it. It was really fun to do, I definitely want to get some practice and make lots more of them!

Here's some of the finds on etsy that were pretty inspiring:
