Materials:
- Sculpey III or Premo in pastel mix combinations (see Spring Summer Forecast 2006)
- Sculpey Alphabet Tile EZ Release Push Mold
- Spray bottle filled with water
- Small circle cutter
- Index card or unprinted paper
- Bamboo skewer
- Clay dedicated pasta machine or clay roller
- Cookie sheet
- Sculpey Oven Thermomter
- Timer
Directions:
1. I selected the Sculpey Alphabet Tile EZ Release Push Mold to create my title and date for my designs. Spray the mold with water and press a small ball of clay into the selected letter mold. The water will help the clay to pop right out of the mold.
2. To make a great little flower, roll 6 same-sized balls of the petal color and 1 ball of the center color. Arrange the balls out in a flower design on a small piece of unprinted paper, like an index card. (NOTE: I use a small cutter to punch out pieces of clay to roll into the balls - that way I get the same sized ball each time!)
3. Place another piece of unlined paper on top of the design and using a flat surface, gently press down on the paper to slightly flatten the balls. Peel the paper away from the flower to remove it.
4. Use a bamboo skewer to add some detail to the petals and you are done! A perfect little flower. By varying the size of the balls used, you can make bigger or smaller flowers.
Place on a paper lined cookie sheet and bake in a preheated oven as directed on package.
