We are continuing our trek through the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin. Today we are making model #15, a clay model of a broad bean. This model was very similar to model #7, a model of a pea pod. In fact, model #15 had no instructions of its own; it simply referred to model #7 for instructions. What is a Broad Bean? Our challenge with this model was not the clay modelling portion, since it was a little repetitive. Our challenge was finding the object itself! First of all, I had no idea what a...

I've been so excited to start this new handicraft! Brushwork is our precursor to watercolor painting. In this handicraft, we are going to learn the basics of watercolor - how to handle and control a brush, how to load a paintbrush, and how to maneuver a brush on paper. Having covered all of the basics in A Beginner's Guide to Brushwork in a Charlotte Mason Education, we will be moving on to brushwork lesson #2, which involves making a pattern with brush forms. Materials Needed The book, Brushwork, Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson (also available online HERE) 1" absorbent grid...

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...

We are busy working through the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin, as we learn about clay modelling. Today, we will be making a clay model of an onion, which is model #13. I guess we're working through all of the fruits and veggies! So far we've made an orange, an apple, a plum, a pear, a lemon, a pea pod, and a tomato. For this model, we went picked up a nicely shaped onion at the grocery store. It will serve two purposes - a model for our clay modelling, and then dinner. Materials Needed The book, A...

The slip stitch in crochet is one of the most basic stitches, yet somehow we have not addressed it - until today. This very simple stitch is occasionally used when finishing off, when intentionally creating a hole (such as the handle seen in the image below), or when creating different designs. Materials Needed Crochet Hook Yarn Happy Handicrafts Video: How to do a Slip Stitch - the EASIEST Stitch in Crochet The slip stitch in crochet begins exactly like a single crochet. However, once you pull the yarn through and have two loop on your hook, the similarity ends. ...
