An interesting game where you are presented with 10 artifacts from the MET. You have to place where the artifact is from and what time period it is from. Each artifact scores up to 10,000 points, and you lose points the further away your guess is and how far off in time you are. You can only play once a day. Thanks to @baebeylik for showing this to me.

Today I scored really well. Yesterday ... not so much.

A small sculpture, now possibly, maybe, probably finished. My first plan was to make it much lighter and more grey with blue-green tones on top and brown spots along the sides from below, sort of. But a lot of the things I do end up in a brown-beige-grey kind of colour scheme so I'll try to keep my hands away from this very blue thing.

After all, I'll make more faces and add more papier-maché to them. I want to make more like this in different versions, with different expressions and different pointy things sticking out.

The thing is made out of stoneware clay but with a kind of papier-maché built on, easily seen on photo number 1. It attaches very well to the clay and allows me to play with the different materials in different ways. Which is nice. I like it.

The whole thing then painted with acrylics which feels like cheating when there's clay involved but really doesn't have to be. As long as it's not supposed to be food safe it doesn't matter.
