help with ceramic / ceramic ideas!?

i `m taking a pottery class at school. first thing we did was make a hollow ball of clay it `s the size of a grapefruit. we had to build around this area where we want. My original plan was to make a sun like this. http://www.mexconnect.com/photos/1937-b0908-pa-bright-yellow-mexican-ceramic-handcrafted-sun-adds-year-large.jpg? 1231363706, but then, my teacher tells us we have to do a totem (totem when I think, I think the Native American tribes, but doesn `t have to be). our project must have a minimum of two feet. i noticed even make the sun, but i don `t know what else I could do or add it to is high. pleeeeaaaasssseee could help me with some ideas of what I could add to my sun, which would make me high enough? And if you can `t think of anything else to the sun, then any other idea would be sooo helpful! thanks soooo much in advance!

You could make a totem to the stars the moon, the sun, with a crescent and stars along at least two to meet the height requirement.
