 Clay-time Playtime 2021 Part 2

I had my Dish. Now I want to add a Pattern

Clay-time add Pattern

 

My first attempt didn’t go well. My Brush decided that it was going to disintegrate as soon as I put it to the Clay. I tried both Sides of my Comb but that didn’t work either.

Fork Pattern

 

Eventually I had to resort to using a Fork to try and add a bit of Pattern on the Sides.

Clay-time Shells

 

The reason I wanted a kind of Wavy Pattern was because I had been given some Shells and I wanted to make it look like Sand.

Naturally the photograph showing the Shells in place didn’t come out. Let us just say that it was really hard work trying to push them in and getting them to hold. I think that with the Temperature being so hot in the Kitchen the Clay was drying too quickly.

Clay-time Triangle

 

With the Temperature in mind I had to work fast to do the next bit. I started by using what was left of the Clay and Beating it into a Triangle Shape.

Clay-time Shape

 

I used the End of the Roller to push the Bottom of the Triangle up towards the Middle.

Clay-time Squeeze

 

I had lots of photographs but thought it would take forever to read the blog so I have skipped sections. In the picture above I have Flattened and Elongated the Legs.

I then used the End of the Roller to Push in the Sides like I had at the Base.

Clay-time Spread

 

By continuously Rolling and Pushing I have Spread out the Clay into the above Shape whilst keeping the Height of the Clay even.

Clay-time Man

 

Finally I have managed to get to the stage where I have a little Man.
