I am so excited about our newest handicraft - BRUSHWORK! Brushwork in a Charlotte Mason education, is a watercolor technique that is typically used to illustrate objects in nature. It begins with the most basic brush exercises, teaching a solid foundation (I think of it as a precursor) for watercolor painting. Watercolor painting is something that I have wanted to learn my entire life, and today is the day I am going to start learning. I have always loved watercolor paintings - I have them scattered throughout my home, decorating my walls and bookshelves. I admire how the...

I'm not sure I've ever seen the need to make a clay model of a potato, yet here we are. In this week's video, we will be making model #14, a potato, from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin. Each lesson in this book features a progressively complex skill set. Since we had already mastered the rather basic skill of building up a blob the size of our object and placing it on the armature, we focused this lesson on creating texture. Materials Needed The book, A Manual of Clay Modelling by Hermione Unwin (or free online HERE) Modeling Clay (the book suggests...

I hope you were following along with us as we make a clay model of a saucer in our last post. Today's model is meant to be made along with the saucer, as they are two pieces of a matching set. The clay model of a plant pot that we will be making today is model #12 from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin. Along with making the saucer, making these two models are the first time that we are creating an object without an original piece to copy. This makes the process more creative and...

Today we will be making model #11 from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin. This lesson is a clay model of a saucer, which is meant to be made simultaneously with model #12, which is a plant pot. Although we made them together, we will be demonstrating them separately in our videos. While working our way through this book, we've noticed that the author typically introduces at least one new and different skill with each lesson. This time is the first time that we are making something without an original object to copy. This adds...

DOWNLOAD YOUR FREE PDF PATTERN HERE As I wind down our crochet handicraft series, I was trying to think of a worth-while project to make that would incorporate several different stitches, while still being fairly quick and easy to make. It didn't take long. I immediately thought of these crocheted baby shoes. They are my go-to for shower gifts. Not only are they a great gift, but they can also serve as a gift embellishment, taking the place of a bow. They are quick to make, consisting of only seven rows. And they are quite...

We are officially 1/6 of the way through the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin. We've questioned ourselves a few times as to why we decided to do this video series. There are 60 models in this book - and we are determined to do every single one of them. It was only a few weeks ago that I was sitting down looking over this book, feeling rather overwhelmed. But as with anything, when you break it up into small pieces, it becomes very do-able. Not only that, but it is important to us to do...
