Little Mouse Paperclip
Not A Craft To Be Seen . . .
- Acrylic paint and bushes
- Varnish/resin**
- Sculpting tools - my two favourite sculpting tools to use are: a skewer and a sewing pin.
- Paperclips
*Obviously any polymer clay can be sculpted but I prefer to use Super Sculpey (beige) It's lovely and soft and creamy, and I find it isn't as brittle as the smaller squares you can buy. It's not coloured but I prefer to paint polymer clay rather than use/blend different colours.
** A clear coating of varnish will always improve the look of your sculpt. I use a two part resin varnish. Some varnish won't work on polymer clay. The oil in the clay causes the varnish to split and dry in patches. This is another reason I paint my clay.
A Mousy Method . . .
Add the head to body, blending both pieces together.
Add the ears to the head, blending away any join lines.
Bake clay following the instructions.
