I simply made multiple little balls and put it around, originally I was going to make a small well. But I wasn't able to complete the wooden roof and sticks to hold it up, fearing it would crush together. The bottom of it was coiled to make a solid, flat bottom. I didnt get any other pictures of it after I sent it to the kiln, (I know, very forgetful) but after I get it back I'm thinking about either painting it, or just sending it back.
