Materials needed: red, white, blue,
yellow Hearty Clay, color scale,
assorted acrylic paints that will
compliment your clay flowers, old
shoe, gesso, coat hanger and a clay
flower pot, E600 glue, bamboo
skewers, rhinestones and assorted
embellishments for flowers
Directions:
1. Use the
color scale, and decide upon your
color scheme for your bouquet. (I
used the pinks, oranges, lime green
and blue.) Make your clay, and free
form your flowers. I just used
crude flower shapes, a four petal
triangle- shaped flower, and a 6
petal round shape.)
2. I
enhanced my flowers with acrylic
paint washes. Thin your acrylic
paints with water, and brush on
colors.
3.
Scout
your closet, and look for an old
open toed high heel. If you don’t
have any, hit the second-hand
stores.
4. Apply
white gesso on the shoe to prepare
it to accept acrylic paint. Let
dry.
5. Paint
your high heel with assorted acrylic
paints.
6. Paint
your clay pot.
7. Determine the circle size you need
to accommodate your clay pot. Bend
a clothes hanger into this shape,
making sure that you have a handle
hanging down so you can glue this to
the shoe. Glue, and allow to
completely dry.
8. Paint
bamboo skewers to match flowers.
Glue flowers to skewers.
9. Place
pot into holder you created, and
design your flower arrangement. I
added some Styrofoam and Spanish
moss. |
