It’s time for another homeschool handicraft! Today we going to be making a clay model of a trinket tray, which is model #35 from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Hermione Unwin. The trinket tray does not require a model, so this week we get a break from our usual crazy search for random objects! 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 you’ve made this...

Today's homeschool handicraft project is Lesson #21 in our brushwork series from the book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson. Brushwork Lesson #21 is a Design of Ivy, and is a really beautiful way to practice that the brush forms and ivy that we learned in Lesson #20. Once you start painting ivy with its' creeping vines and 5-star leaves, you won't be able to stop! Redrawing the Design on Our Grid Paper Your grid paper is probably going to be different than that in the book. I say this because I looked everywhere for grid paper that was similar to the...

Today for our homeschool handicraft lesson, we are going to make a clay model of a poppy capsule. We are working our way through the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Hermione Unwin. The poppy capsule is model #32, and once again, presented a real challenge to find! First of all, it's wintertime, and secondly, I've never seen an actual poppy grow near us. So, in what appears to be our norm, we found an alternate solution - a dried seed capsule of some sort. Along with a few pictures, we were able to make a poppy capsule....

After abandoning our design grid in our last lesson (and loving it!), for our brushwork lesson #18, we are returning to the grid. We are working through the book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson, as part of our homeschool handicraft curriculum. Lesson #18 is a Lesson on Hares and Leaves. Now, I'm going to be honest - the hares may take a little imagination, and the leaves look a little more like lily pads, but again, this isn't about realism. Our goal is to practice and improve our brush forms, while enjoying the process. ...

We are already on brushwork, lesson #15, which is officially halfway through our homeschool brushwork series! We are working through the book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson. Lesson #15 takes the previous lesson, a lesson on the violet, and using the skills we learned, guides us through a design of the violet. Using the brushforms to paint violets, leaves, and vines, we are able to create a beautiful, circular design. Redrawing the Design on Our Grid Paper As mentioned in previous lessons, your grid paper is probably going to be different than that in the book....
