Instructions:
Take some white Makin's Clay® out of the package and roll out a thin sheet either with a roller or a clay machine. Place the rest of the clay in a zip lock bag with a wet paper towel or moist towelette inside. Cut out a shape for the light house with the help of the blade. For the clay not sticking to the blade, use a plastic bag that you place over the clay.
This is what we get. The shape could differ.
Apply some water with a brush over the base.
Extrude white and red threads with the help of Makin's Professional® Ultimate Clay Extruder®.
Place threads over the base white, red, white, red, alternating as shown.
Once you get near the top, make a white thread kind of twisted at the ends.
Cut a circle about 2.5 cm from white clay. Use a plastic bag again for the clay not to
stick to the cutter. Cut off about a third and place as a topper part of the lighthouse.
Take another piece of white clay and add some brown chalk pastel powder. Do not mix it much, we do not want a solid color.
Make small balls of different sizes and place them at the bottom of the lighthouse. These will serve as the stones.
You may add some texturing with a rounded tool for the stones to fit better. Do not forget to brush some water to help adhere the fresh clay to the lighthouse.
Add some shading to the upper part of the lighthouse.
Place those pieces overlapping each other at the bottom of the lighthouse.
Add some windows.
Let it dry for at least 24 hours.
Let it dry for at least 24 hours.
Take a cardboard coaster and cover it with white acrylic paint. Let it dry. Write whatever you would like for a phrase.
Once dried, glue the lighthouse to the coaster. Your little motivation board is ready!
