Solo Sculpting.

[Lisana]

38th of Spring, 515 AV

OOCI plan to be dividing this into multiple sections, based on the dates: The molding of the shell, the animating, and getting to know the golem itself. As a result, it will take at least three threads.

Lisana ran her thumb across the surface of the clay, leaving thumb-sized dent. Unsure what she would make, the girl continued to mold the clay into no set shape as she thought. She knew she wanted to make a golem, maybe an animal? She mindlessly began to mold something, her mind constantly going back to the aspects of a cat.

After finally dragging herself out of her thoughts, Lisana glanced at the creation in her hands. It was a sloppy depiction of the face of a cat. The girl began to shape the face, and the ears. Once she had the general shape, Liz took a sewing needle, for lack of a better tool at hand, and began to add the smaller details, forming the nose and mouth. The girl set two pebbles in the clay that she'd found, to represent eyes. They were both round, although both were merely a dull grey. The ears were pointing up, as a cat's ears do, and hollow. The eyes had a line of paint going down the center, meant to be the slit-like pupils of a cat. Lisana held the head with one hand, proud of her work, despite it only having taken about half a bell.

The head was complete. Lisana took some more clay, gently shaping it into the frame of a body. She began to shape the legs, attaching them to the body. The tail curled around the body. An idea struck the girl, and she began to form a general triangle shape for wings. They wouldn't be functional, the girl knew that. But they'd be somewhat of a unique aspect, a sort of decoration. As she molded the details for the wings, the girl wondered what, exactly, the golem would do. She expected something simple, for the purpose of entertainment. The golem wouldn't be one capable of significant tasks, possibly just walking, and other simple things.

The girl gently attached the wings, making an effort no to mess up any of the rest of the sculpture. Liz gently set the cat on the table before her. To her disappointment, the legs buckled. The girl wasn't entirely sure what to do, but made an effort to add more clay so as to reinforce it. This meant she had to reshape the paws and legs, while maintaining the proportions. The girl groaned, suddenly not proud of her work, but rather annoyed at having to fix it. She hurriedly fixed it, quickly smoothing down the seams and adding simple details. As a result, they weren't as nice as the previous legs, but detailed enough.

The girl picked her creation up in her hands carefully, so as not to change any of the carefully-formed details. She gently held it, taking it to the animation circles drawn on the floor and leaving it there, so as to leave it there for the next day. Lisana was tired, but intended to animate the golem the next day.
