Starting a new project is always a little exciting. I was especially happy that this project did not require some weird, unobtainable object. Our project today is model #24 from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin, a clay model of a banana. There were no big curve balls thrown at us with this project, and the bonus part is that you can eat it when you're finished. Materials Needed The book, A Manual of Clay Modelling by Hermione Unwin (or free online HERE) Modeling Clay (the book suggests red terra cotta clay) Clay modeling tools (this kit includes many tools, along with a sponge and wire...

My thorough enjoyment of the handicraft, brushwork, continues today, as we move on to brushwork, lesson #11. This lesson is titled, Lesson of Scylla, and is a natural follow-up from lesson #10, a lesson on the scylla. As we previously learned the scylla (also spelled scilla) is a beautiful blue flower from the hyacinth family. It blooms in the early spring, typically in Europe, Africa, and Asia, with intense blue star-shaped blossoms. The face of the flower is generally faced downwards. As we work through the book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson, we are gently guided to practice...

It's time to tackle model #23 in our clay modelling homeschool handicraft series. This lesson is a clay model of a pomegranate, from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin. The majority of directions for this model are referred back to model #1, a clay model of an orange, our very first attempt at clay modelling. Materials Needed The book, A Manual of Clay Modelling by Hermione Unwin (or free online HERE) Modeling Clay (the book suggests red terra cotta clay) Clay modeling tools (this kit includes many tools, along with a sponge and wire to cut the clay) An modelling board with an armature – hopefully...

Today in our clay modelling homeschool handicraft series, we are making model #22, a clay model of a walnut, from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin. Think of this model as model #3, a plum, but with more details added. The walnut at first appeared difficult, but when broken down in simple steps - many which we have already accomplished - this model became very straight forward. So, before we even start, be sure to approach this clay model with a positive, can-do mindset. Finding a walnut may not be as easy as it sounds. Once...

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...
