I have a project due in ceramics and I am completely behind, so I just gathered a few already fired pieces I had from other things and am trying to use them for this assignment (which was to make a self-portrait using a clay head or bust of yourself and random items from your life or things that represent you. So far what I have looks REALLY creepy, and was hoping you all could help give me advice on what to do?
Here it is..

Update:ALSO- If you have any ideas of what to make a hat/hair out of, i would really appreciate it!

Haha, personally I don't find it creepy, but hey, I go to an art college, so maybe I'm just used to weird stuff. :P
If the piece is supposed to represent you, I'd find more items that relate to your life, symbolically. Like, don't add a soccer ball because you like soccer. For example, what would your spirit animal be? (lol) or, what animal/person/thing would you come back as, if reincarnation existed? Think of these aspects of your personality to try and add some uniqueness to your piece.
Also, some paint or glaze (don't know if you have time to fire the glaze...) would benefit that face greatly.
What direction to go? Flower/boutonniere on shirt, hat, scarf on neck, cupcake stuffed in mouth, hair
