Attention: wash your hands before you start working! |
Materials needed:
|
|
The body
Make a 1" cone out of aluminum foil. Cover half the cone with white clay. |
|
|
Legs
Make a 2" by 1/2" long worm from flesh clay and cut this in half for the two legs. Make two little feet at the end of each half worm. Make two incisions in the hollow of the knees, bent the legs into shape and fasten them to the body. |
|
|
Dress Use white clay for the dress |
|
|
Arms and hands
Make a two " long worm from mint clay ( a less thick then 1/2"). Cut this in half through the center. Make the hands. Make two incisions into the elbows, bend the arms into shape and fasten them to the body. After you fastened the arms, make a little collar out of white clay. Use a little part of the toothpick to push (gently) into the body. Here you will put on the head when it is finished.

The 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 clayshaper. 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.
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. Make the ears from two little flesh balls and shape them with your clayshaper. Give Erica a little pink hat with two mint pompons and finish it making a trim around it! For the hair, make a couple of strands of Fimo- clay. Turn these round a needle to make little curls and fasten these. It is Erica's birthday so make her a nice birth\day cake. I think she likes to have something in her hands to cuddle.
