hi guys,

i’m trying to model a teapot, and i can’t work out a good way to make the lid. I’ve attached a photo of the lid i’m using…

what i’ve tried so far is to make a mushroom-ish shape, and then use sub-d’s to push the semi-circles down creating the handle bit, but it didn’t work very well (the edges weren’t smooth like the real one, and they weren’t symmetrical.)

so, any ideas?

thanks  
Stu
