The first thing I did was sketch ideas for a whistle. I sketched a toucan and a pickle, and couldn't decide which one to make, so I decided to make both.
Next, I connected two pinch pots to make an orb to go with my toucan.
I made the pickle with two long pinch pots. Then I added the top stem part to place the popsicle stick in.
I added a head, feet, and a tail to my toucan and carved some lines to make it more lifelike.
Then, I started to cut out a hole in order to make the pickle and toucan a true whistle. Even though I messed with it and got other people to try and help me out, I failed to make any sound other than plain air.
I am very pleased with the final products, even though they don't actually whistle.
After my whistles were bisque fired, I glazed them, and they were fired again to finish them off.
