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...

Today we are continuing to work through the book, A Manual of Clay-Modeling by Unwin. In this post, we are going to be making model #9, which is a clay model of a laurel leaf. This model worked up very differently than the previous ones, so be sure to follow along on our video below to see how we did it. We found it a little more difficult and a little more labor-intensive, but still enjoyable and rewarding. Our big challenge this week was finding a laurel leaf. Should I be embarrassed that I had to google this? I...

I recently did a post and video on How to do an Increase in Crochet, so it only falls to reason that our next crochet blog post has to be about how to do a decrease in crochet, right? In many patterns, think of a ball shape, for example, we begin by increasing our stitches until we reach the middle area. Then we begin to decrease. Our baby chick in an eggshell project is a perfect example. The increase and decrease in crochet are stitches that will be used over and over and over again. For...

Today we are continuing to work through the book, A Manual of Clay-Modeling by Unwin. In this post, we are going to be tackling model #8, which is a clay model of an acorn. We took a stroll through our neighborhood and found a little acorn, so that's what we'll be using. In this model, we are instructed to build a slab around the armature that is 1.5" in height. We are also instructed to create our acorn to be twice its natural size. The purpose of this is so that the armature does not...

We are slowly working through the book, A Manual of Clay-Modeling by Unwin in our clay modelling series. In this post, we are going to be tackling model #7, which is a clay model of a pea pod. There were definitively some new skills incorporated into this model, which you will immediately notice if you’ve been following along with us in this series. It had some extra detailing, however, we found it to be a quick project. You may not have a pea pod laying around. It's still winter where we live, so there is no garden growing,...

Today we are tackling the 6th clay model from the book A Manual of Clay-Modeling by Unwin. This model is of a clay model of a lemon, and if you've been following along with us in this video series, you'll find that this was fairly easy. It employed many of the same techniques that we had used in previous models, making this session fairly short in comparison to previous ones. Our work with clay modelling is part of a project to incorporate Charlotte Mason's teachings into our homeschool. We've followed the Charlotte Mason philosophy in our homeschool from...
