Ceramic Boot

When trying to represent movement in clay, the clay has to be very thin.  This makes the clay susceptible to breakage.  While working on this piece, I had to make sure the clay was moist, otherwise it would crack.  My favorite but most difficult part of making this boot, was making the zipper.  I had to really understand how a zipper worked in order to create it.  The finished product was very realistic because of my attention to detail on the zipper.
