Crawling Creatures 2025 Part 10

Oops I realise that I have taken the pictures wrong but you will get the idea. Also though the Blogs may have been spread out over a few weeks I made the Creatures in one Afternoon.

Starfish

I turn the Starfish over on to its Front (making sure the Eyes were to the Top). On the Back I add some Long Yarn. This is some Chunky that I have left over. I place it over the Starfish.

Crab

I turn the Crab over. This time I wanted the Eyes looking downwards. I place this above the Starfish and press Yarn into the Back. I then fold the Clay over.

Cover Yarn

I place the Snail below the Starfish. Again I add the Yarn. I make sure that the Yarn is properly Secured on all three creatures. I am able to do this because the Clay was not entirely dry. It it had been I would have had to add more Clay.

Seaside Creature Hanger

Here we have one Seaside Creature Hanger for my Bathroom.  The Snail could have perhaps have been a little straighter but maybe that is what the Crab is looking at?

Here is a blog about a little gift my boyfriend gave me. Since it is supposed to be from age 5 it should have been simple. How wrong could I be?

Crab Clay Kit

I now have one Air Dry Crab Kit to play with. I have used Air Dry Clay before so it should be easy.

Instructions

I first read the instructions. This is going to be a piece of cake. It will  probably only take me about 10 minutes to finish.

First Booboo

Oops. I dropped the Red Clay whilst taking it out. Hang about this isn’t right. This is NOT like other Clay I have used at all. I thought that I would just dab it on and pick up the Red.

However it doesn’t work. In fact exactly the Opposite. Instead of picking up it sticks to the other Clays. Now I have got Red Clay on all of them.

Red Ball

Rather than carry on trying to sort out the bits that were stuck I put the Lid on the Pot and carried on. Taking nearly all of the Red Clay I rolled it into a ball.

Palm Flattened

I have now Flattened the Ball with my Palm. This will make the Base for my Crab.
