Today in our clay modelling homeschool handicraft series, we are making model #21, a clay model of a bon-bon dish, from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin. We found this model very similar to model #11, a clay model of a saucer that we did several weeks ago., as well as model #12, a clay model of a plant pot. Each were made from small balls of clay, which were then formed into small dishes with six curvatures around the edge. This version was fun to make. Unlike many of our clay models, we decided to...

I was quite excited to start our brushwork, lesson #8. This is a lesson on yellow dahlia, and it's my first time attempting such a flower. The book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson, has a wonderful way of easing you into each skill, and then developing that skill and using it in many ways. In this lesson, the author takes us from simple brush forms to using those same brush forms in flower pedals, buds, and leaves. What if My Grid Paper is Different from the Book? Your grid paper is probably going to be different...

This week, in our homeschool handicrafts lessons, we are going to be making a clay model of an egg, from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin. These lessons are supposed to be gradually increasing in complexity as you work through the book. This lesson seemed to take us back several lessons to Model #3, which was a clay model of a plum. In fact, the egg seemed to be even simpler than the plum! Although the egg takes a little more shaping, the plum had more details. But you be the judge - watch our...

We are progressing to Lesson #7, in our brushwork series, from the book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson. Brushwork, Lesson #7 is a natural progression from Lesson #6 which had us painting rose hips and their leaves. Today we are going to be using the skills we learned, by painting a design of rose hips and their leaves. Once again, as in lesson #6, the grid paper used in the book is a different size than the one we are using. So, once again, I adjusted the design a little bit so that the pattern would fit onto our grid. ...

Have you ever attempted to make a clay model of a cockle shell? You'd think it was a simple little project, but I'm here to tell you, it's harder than it looks! We are working on the 19th model from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin, which is a cockle shell. Some lessons in this book seem very simple and straight forward, a logical progression from the lesson before. But this lesson was a bit of a jump. With all of the intricacies and details, this clay model of a cockle shell gave us a...

Our next lesson in our brushwork series is more than additional practice. Brushwork, lesson #6, from the book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson, is a model lesson on hips and leaves. It takes an autumn nature walk and turns it into an in-depth examination of nature. If you are a Charlotte Mason homeschool family, this sort of lesson will feel very familiar. You can seamlessly incorporate this lesson in brushwork into your nature walks. What are Hips? Let's us first start with a definition and concept of what these plants are. This book was originally published in 1903...
