Be
sure to check out the Mini Asparagus video if you haven't already.
This
is a vegetable that looks a lot harder to make than it really is. If
you have at least some experience working with clay I think you will
be very successful with it. Just take your time and be patient. It is
really fun once you get started.
In
this video I also introduce you to the Skinner Method of blending
clay. This is such a fun way to blend clay and resulting graduated
blend is so pretty. It is almost like magic and as many times as I
have done it I still am in awe every time. I love to watch the blend
happen before my eyes. It is almost addictive really and you may find
yourself blending random colors of clay just to see what happens. LOL
We will be using this technique many times in the future too.
Now
when you look at that box of mini asparagus you may think I totally
lost my mind. That box looks full and that must have taken forever to
make that many pieces of mini asparagus. Before you try to have me
locked up let me assure you I didn't fill the box all the way with
asparagus. I actually used the leftover blended cane of asparagus
clay to make “filler” snakes for the bottom of the box.
To
make these I simply rolled larger snakes than I had done for the
actual asparagus and after coating the bottom of the box with liquid
sculpy I laid them all in the box and baked it off. Now when I am
ready I can simply glue the completed asparagus to the top to finish
the box.
Be
sure to request your favorite fruit or vegetable to have me do a
tutorial on. You can either post here, on the youtube video comments
or on the Facebook page. I am writing down all the requests I am
getting and will do as many as I can.
