I LOVE arts and crafts. I always hand make birthday cards for loved ones and make christmas hamper gifts every year.
I am a complete novice and just find it extremely theraputic when im fiddling around and creating things.
I think its the rewarding feeling to look at a finnished product and think...I did that!
So my latest bordem breaker was to make something with clay!
Last year I made everybody lovely little clay gingerbread men Christmas tree decorations, but my artistic flare couldnt move beyond rolling and using dough cutters to shape then sticking some pretty stuff on. A very basic craft but beautiful finnished product!
Looking through Pinterest I found these great basic mini cast head sculptures and I thought, I'm going to give them a go!
So thats exactly what I did, and this is the outcome:
Attempt #no.1
Attempt #no.2
Honestly I am no expert (clearly) these are my first ever attempts, these faces came from my soul. Completly improvised! It was so much fun and I have completely supprised myselft at my own abilities.
Even my husband could not resist giving it a go and attempted to make a sculpture of his idol Charles Bukowski:
The clay is air dry and was purchased from local craft store for Β£2.99 for a kilo of clay. This is enough to make 4 heads.
My next project is to create a clay sculpture for the top of my christmas tree. Oh and I am going to attempt a cat!
