So last year, my alarm clock lost a foot, and instead of getting rid of it, I turned it into this. The heads were made of straight pins pushed into balls of clay. I stuck a pin in the neck of each body before cooking, cooked the heads and bodies separately, then connected them. I tried later on to add the two figures with the rope (hemp), but their bodies were positioned in a way that didn't allow them to stand, and even when I tried making a base for them out of glue they weren't stable. In hindsight, I should've used hot glue instead to make them stand. I'll probably use this same concept in the future for a similar project. Maybe a bookend or key bowl or something.
