To start, I created my own stencils, sketching some shapes using Google images as my reference:
Tracing over alongside a black Sharpie, I made templates which I so cut out. The thick pen stops yous from creating a complicated outline, that will be easy to transfer in to clay too cut about.
Rolling out my air dry out clay to about 0.5cm thick, I placed ane of the templates on transcend in addition to
traced about the border amongst a pencil, running the pencil about the outline through the clay to
make a seamless and smooth cut [protect your surface with a piece of newspaper or cardboard to
protect if needed, or you volition draw an outline of the design to your table top!]:
…merely left the details in addition to kept the finish plain. To brand the feathers too leaves more than ‘bowl-similar’
too curved to catch my earrings, bits together with bobs in addition to nic-nacs, I employed the function of a bathroom gyre,
bead storage and business of corrugated cardboard to assist mould a diverseness of shapes:
Leave to dry for at to the lowest degree 24 hours together with if needed, go along an eye on the shapes during the first hours
or therefore to cheque that the clay is drying to the shapes you take moulded. After this fourth dimension, the clay
starts to dry out and harden, thence re-shaping is hard and tin intermission [I may have found this out the
hard means in a previous projection]. Once dry out, elevator easily to remove from the moulds:
Part 1, consummate.
Next, they involve to live sanded as well as filed to smooth out the edges together with then decorated. I’k non thence sure what to practice, which is why they are all the same sitting, unfinished on my java table – must together with will kind presently.
