craft your happy place
– Armature wire – Air dry clay (the terracotta version would be gorgeous left unpainted) – Flower art template (free) – Jute twine (optional) – Paint for base (optional) – Spray paint for sculpture (optional) – Needlenose pliers (optional but useful) – Wire snips
Materials Needed
Grab a chunk of air dry clay about the size of your palm, and roll it into a ball.
1
Fill a small bowl with water to keep at close hand then dip your fingers into the water and run them over any cracks or creases in your clay that you want to erase.
2
Taking a roll of jute twine, wrap your clay sculpture base (starting at the bottom), keeping the twine tightly together.
3
Using the armature wire that will create the actual sculpture, poke the end of the wire into the top center of the clay base and push straight down through to the bottom.
4
Print out whatever artwork you’ve decided to use as a guide and place it on your work surface.
