Tracing design:
I am using the below image as reference to make the clay owl using mouldit clay on a branch.
Making the owl with Fevicryl mouldit clay:
- Clean the container properly first.
- Now take both the parts of Fevicryl mouldit clay and mix it properly until it gets a uniform color.
- Now take a portion of mixture and give the shape of an owl body as shown in the reference image.
- When its done paste it on the tin can with the help of glue.
- Now make two wings and paste them on both sides of owl body.
- Then make two small round eyes and a triangle beak and paste is with glue.
- For the tree branch, take a small amount of clay mixture, roll it and attach on the tin can below the owl.
- Now make two small legs and glue above the branch.
- Make some leaves and flowers and paste the on your desired place.
- Lastly make some texture on leaves, owl leg with a knife or clay tool.
- So now its done and keep it for few hours so that it will dry properly.
Coloring the clay owl:
To color this craft you can use whatever colors you like. However I’ll describe how I have colored this.
- To color the body of the owl I am using cerulean blue and light blue color.
- Used white and black for eyes, red for beak and light brown for legs.
- Colored the tree branch with dark brown color.
- For leaves I have used leaf green & light green and flower with red & yellow.
- Once the coloring is done keep it in a rest so that the color dries properly.
- After the color is dried completely, varnish it all over to seal the color.
- Then again keep it for few hours to dry it up.
- Once the varnish is dried completely, its ready to use.
- I am using this as planter. So made few holes at the bottom. After the varnish is dried properly I have planted a money plant in it.
So here is the final view.
