I had a bunch of clay and wanted to make something easy, so I decided to make fake rocks. I started by thumping the lump of clay against a tree in a random pattern. After that, I put it on the wheel and carved out a little hole. I thought if I let it dry really, really slowly, I could fire it solid, but Bridget disagreed, so I ended up hollowing it out by cutting a flap and bending it back. You can sort of see the lines where I cut it, but only if you know where to look. Underneath, it looks like there ought to be a flap to hide a key, except that there isn’t.
