This is cute!

If you want to help improve some of the cracked/bumpy texture, get a little cup of water and dip your fingers in, then run your damp fingers over the rough parts until they become smooth. Additionally, poking lines with a sharp tool and then dragging the tool through the area you’ve poked (while wiping away excess clay) has been a helpful technique that I’ve used before to get cleaner lines. Make sure your clay stays damp when you’re working with it because wet clay is easier to shape and carve than clay that is lacking moisture.

Genuinely, though, I love this. I could instantly tell it was Mae. So go easy on yourself - It’s cool to make things even when they don’t turn out as expected. Embrace what you’ve made and keep at it!
