This oyster piece is my first clay sculpture attempt. It's clay with a dark stain and white glaze. The idea behind the oyster was to make a "toy" that shows your story. The story behind the oyster is that when I was younger, much younger than you are supposed to be to eat oysters, my father fed them to my sister and I by the bucket. We loved them, but no one believed we did. So when I used to go to family/friends parties I hustled adults out of their money by betting them that I would eat them. This oyster symbolizes those experiences and probably afforded me a couple of actual toys!
