Creating With Clay Part II

Creating with Clay

Part 2

Baby Your Clay

for the first night - I placed another cookie sheet over
them and something heavy on top of that - to
prevent curling.

It has been nearly 24 hours since I

cut out the shapes in the rolled out

the clay.

The little darlings are still moist.

Yesterday it rained all day

and I believe there was a lot

of moisture in the air to

lengthen the drying stage.

Laurie at Heaven’s Walk

advised that it does take a good

24 hours to dry.

They will still need some smoothing once dried -
then- the fun begins!

Notes:

***

I used two different wooden rolling

pins to roll out the clay. It cooperates

beautifully. I rolled them out between

1/8^th to 1/4^th inch thick.

***

In the drying process I noticed that

the moisture seemed to be seeking

lower ground – so I flipped the

cut outs over. Laurie suggests

every couple of hours.

As soon as they’re dry enough

and I have plenty of time

not tomorrow- everything that

was post-poned the few days it

iced here is rescheduled for tomorrow.

Oh JOY!

Then, I’ll begin the paint process.
I am dreaming of other possibilities with
this clay. 
Wishing you a very Delightsome day,
