I made this by making a banana shape with a bowl mold and letting it sit. when the clay dried, I took the mold out and sanded it down to make it look like a banana. then, I under glazed it and added designs to make the banana look more cartoon like. this took lots of time and readjustments, but my the end the banana turned out really well. the clear glaze was a little harder, because in some areas the clear glaze would not stick to the clay and I had to do  multiple layers and blow dry it multiple times in multiple spots so it came out more even. the place mat I made with it was a banana tree witch I think really matches the theme and was easy to make.
