Come Clay with Me-Section 1 Finished!!!

 Section one classes are finished and section two ready to be sanded and painted! It's been really fun to see their personalities emerge from the sculpting to the painting. I used the teacher's designs for this group, or I tried. They did turn out similar, to my surprise. I got more comfortable and better at handling the paper clay and tools with the second group! See sidebar for link to classes and website!

Also click on the label Jeanne Marie Webb classes to see the previous posts leading up to the finished group!

I shared this one previously. It was a practice run, sort of. I got it too flat, so I learned from it and made the second first character below!

This one turned out more like the video and much better, but the first one has a soft spot in my heart too!

The second little quirky character "Mama Bear". Love her! She is the tallest in my group at four and a half inches tall.

Not a very good photo, but this is the third little person. I learned how to make roses on her!

This is a bonus lesson! Sort of a tribal mask. I didn't intentionally make her smirk. I think she twisted her mouth during the drying process! 😲

The group while they are drying. I forgot to tilt some of their heads, but that's ok. Not a requirement!

And here they are in a family portrait! I just love them as a group! They look so mischievous, don't they?!!! The first two look like they are whispering secrets, mama bear looks like she feels out of place and thinks they are talking about her, and the other two look  kind of antagonistic toward one another. I'll have to find a better way to display them than the drying rack! They can be used for all sorts of creative things, including ornaments, gift tags, framed, handmade book/journal decorations, etc...

These have been so interesting and fun to create, plus they have each one taught me so much! I may take a bit of a break before painting the next group though. I have concentrated so much on this group that I'm behind on some chores! Besides, I have videos for group two to watch first, and this group is all about making and wearing masks, which I have done already, but I need to watch the classes on painting them before doing it.

Try something new! You never know if it will become your new passion! Thank you so much for your visit! 💓
