I am pleased with the progress I have made thus far. I am about half - way done with the forming of the apple, so I think I will be able to start on the separate top - half during the next studio day. I smoothed out the inside and made the edges of the base much cleaner. I also stretched the clay out a bit so that it isn't quite so thick. I also gently pulled it outwards to mimic the more dramatic bowl - like shape of an actual apple.
I cannot help but feel like it would be easier to build an appenditure of wire and paper-mâché and overlay it with clay, but I feel like I need to continue with what I have already started. I think I have a solid start, and I am excited to continue the process.

I actually think you are working with the right process. I feel like you'll have more specific control with the clay vs, using an armature. Once back from break, the clay should be in a good state to begin refining. Good start!
