February Baby "Kellie"

Attention: wash your hands before you start working! |
Materials needed:
|
|
The body:
Make a 1" cone out of aluminum foil. Cover the cone with blue clay. Pierce the topside with a needle. You will be placing the toothpick here later on.
|
|
|
Legs:
Make a 2" by 1/2" long worm from the flesh clay and cut this in half for the two legs. Before you fasten the cut side of the leg to the body, make two little feet. Make two incisions in the hollow of the knees. Bent the legs into shape and fasten them to the body.

Arms and hands
Make a two " long worm from flesh clay ( a less thick then 1/2"). Cut this in half through the center. Make a little hand to each arm. Make two incisions into the elbows and bend the arms into shape.

Head
Make a small ball, a lit less then 1" in diameter for the head. Press in and make a groove from ear to ear with the wooden part of the clay shaper. Make sure the head stays round. Press a tiny ball on the bottom part of the groove for the nose. The nose will be finished after you poked two holes into it with a toothpick. For the eyes you use two little beads. For the ears, roll out a small ball and flatten it a little. Make a dent with the broad site of the clay shaper, so you will get the rim of the ear. The mouth is in the middle of the nose and the chin. Push the top of a toothpick on the right place in the clay, pull out and lift the upper lip a bit. Also pull out a bit of clay for the under lip. Now you have a little hole to put the thumb in. Make a hole in the bottom of the head with a needle. Turn the head back and forward on the toothpick to fasten to the body. For the hair make a couple of strands of flesh clay and fasten these. Don't forget to make a nice bow of blue clay! Give Kellie a cute little toy in her hands.
