I saw on a 'mold & handbuilding' flyer sometime ago these cutie cute piggy banks and couldn't stop thinking about them at work. So I finally gave in and ordered the molds. You have a choice between frog, dog, reindeer, turkey & alien. I couldn't decide so I ordered them all.
I had so much fun making these. I think I must have spent the whole weekend playing in the studio. The 'alien' bank is really fun becos you can make them however you want. They gave you a variety of eyes, nose, mouth, shoes & hair piece to choose from. I just made one of each for now cos I was not sure how they would turn out in the kiln. I am really happy they came out fine, no warping or cracking. The pictures below show the before and after 1st firing. The next step is glazing.
