CHALLENGE ITEM DUE:
Theme: CONTAINER (Can you think outside the box? Lidless? Sideways? Cover a vase or box? Make a drape bowl on a form? Pinch a pot?)
Deb Williams will be showing us how she makes her incredible birds. This is her Pileated Woodpecker. Below are the colors needed for a goldfinch, which is what we'll be doing on Saturday.
SUPPLY LIST for a goldfinch cane:
Clay: Use a firmer clay, like Premo, Kato, or Fimo Classic:
* 2 blocks zinc yellow (or cadmium yellow)
* 1 block black
* 1 block white
* 1/2 block orange
* 1 block raw sienna for the branch
* Clay for the background: I mixed colors to come up with a "fern" green for my cane, but Fimo classic has something similar. You can think about this later if you want.
Tools:
* Pasta machine
* Flexible blade
* Ripple blade (or you can use mine)
* Wax paper
It would be best to have your clay already conditioned and in flat sheets (at the thickest setting) so you don't have to spend time doing this at the meeting. You'll also need to flatten some black to a #8 (thin) for the details and to outline the bird, but you can wait until the demo to do this.
