How to mold from airy plasticine?
Cool figures of any type are obtained from airy plasticine. This is a very popular material because it is as convenient and pleasant to work with it as possible. Light plasticine does not have to be constantly kneaded in your hands so that it does not lose its softness.
If a small child is going to make a craft, it makes sense to prepare just such a kind of plasticine mass. Let's get acquainted with the step-by-step instructions for making a beautiful avocado from high-quality airy plasticine.
In avocados, only the skin will have a characteristic green color. It is necessary to tear off a small piece of soft plasticine of this color. If the craft is made on a table, it makes sense to lay oilcloth or sheets of paper on it beforehand.
The work will be cleaner if you use a special sculpting board. From the torn off green piece, you will need to roll a neat ball.
Next, the ball will need to be rolled into a part that has the shape of a real avocado. Excess material can be cut off in a stack and put to the side. It is advisable to make the front of this blank be flat and the back round.
You can use white or yellow plasticine to make the core. You need to take a small piece of light soft mass, make a ball, and then roll it out until it is as flat as possible. When the "cake" is ready, you will need to carefully cut out the outlines of an avocado from it. Thus, it will turn out to make the "pulp" of the fruit. It must be slightly smaller than the green peel.
The finished light piece is applied to the green base. The elements are fastened into a single structure. Now you need to mold a bone from brown plasticine. The part must be made such that the front is convex and rounded, and the back is flat.
This part must be attached to the light pulp with the flat side. We need to make two more small round or drop-shaped green elements. These will be the legs of the avocado. They should be secured at the bottom of the fetus.
You will need to roll two short green parts - these will be avocado handles. They are attached at the edges, just below the tapering half. Small black balls will act as eyes. They are attached over the bone.
Glare can be made on the eyes by sticking very small white circles.The small green ball will become a pretty nose. A neat smile line should be cut under the stack.
As an additional decoration, you can mold a charming bow from yellow plasticine and stick it on top of the fruit.
Modeling recommendations
Here are some helpful tips on how to properly sculpt an avocado and more.
- To make a beautiful craft, you need to use only high quality plastic material. It is recommended to use branded clay that has been stored correctly. If the material is of poor quality, then a good craft will not come out of it.
- If the clay is simple, it must be kneaded at each stage of work.... If this is not done, the material will quickly become stiff and less pliable. It will be more difficult to work with him because of this.
- If you don't have a stack on hand, you can use a toothpick, needle, match, or pencil.... Of course, they will not be able to fully replace the special tool, but for extreme cases they are quite suitable.
- Before starting work, it is recommended to think in advance about what exactly and how the young master will do. If you have a certain plan of action, then nothing will complicate the creative process.
- If a small child is engaged in modeling, then leaving him completely unattended is not recommended.... All manipulations of the young sculptor must be carried out under the supervision of adults.
- If the child is not yet familiar with plasticine, it is recommended to do the simplest and most understandable crafts first.
It is advisable to master more complex options with many decorative and original details gradually.
