I have been taking a ceramics class at my school, and I had some leftover clay and leftover time from my last project, so I decided to do something cool. It didn't take long to decide what to make; I took out some tools and started molding the shape of a Gamecube controller and console. After about 3 class periods, I finished sculpting, firing, and painting my controller, and while it is still a noticeably rushed job, I am pretty happy with it.

The console took a bit longer to complete, but I had more attention to detail, and I am ultimately more proud of it. Unfortunately, it was originally going to be a single, closed unit, but the top broke after drying, so I had to make it just a Gamecube-shaped pot. Oh, well. I think it actually came out better this way.
So, without further ado, I give you my epic creations!

Sorry about the huge blurry images; I took these pictures with my cell phone. Now that I look at these pictures, I don't really like the look of the controller; it feels sloppy. Still, it is something totally unique that I can add to my Gamecube collection.
This is Lisalover1, considering making a bust of Mario's head. Someone take this %&$#ing clay away from me.
