Pink Flower
May 5th, 2006
Spring has inspired a lot of bloggers to photograph, illustrate and draw flowers. Here is a tutorial of the same spirit.
I had prepared the same flowers of different colors for Mina’s room. Materials are translucent, fluorescent pink and metallic blue polymer clays. Begin with mixing translucent and fluorescent pink clays in the proportion shown below.
You will obtain a very light pink clay. Wrap a thin sheet of fluorescent pink around a cylindrical cane of the premixed clay.
You can elongate the cane by rolling with your hands.
Cut the cane into five equal length pieces.
Place the pink cane pieces around a metallic blue clay as shown.
Fill the gaps with translucent clay strips.
Wrap the whole flower again with a thin sheet of translucent clay.
After rolling and elongating, the cane is ready… This cane is especially useful to cover glassware and create a candle holder. I will publish a candle holder made using this cane on another post.
