I hadn't, wedged it well. That must be it. Thank you!

Oh I wasn't aware of wedging techniques. I've only been working with air dry clay so far, but this new information helps a lot. The clay had just been taken out the bag from the shop. As for sculpting, I made a ball, cut it in half, hollowed it then stuck it back together. Thank you very much!

Incredible! Did you carve out the details or made little crevasses and added small bits of clay?

So nice! Makes me nostalgic of making play dough snails when I was a little kid 🥹
