Air dry foam clay

 

Have you ever seen an air dry clay that is super light like a foam?

This is it! So these will be painted after they're completely air dry.

I'm making these flowers for a head dress, the lightness of these will help!

Newspaper and plaster as a sculpture

These were so much fun, I can hardly tell you!!

Brief: use newspaper and sticky tape to create a bird or animal to create a plaster cast.

 First, you screw up newspaper and wrap it in tape to hold its shape. This is the newspaper armature.

We were creating birds, I tried to create a flying bird... let's see what you think of it.

Next use overlapping pieces of plaster bandage (Same as in a plaster cast) to cover the armature.

In some ways, it looks more like a dugong, it's a bit hard to see with my hand on it.

This was quite a fun and inexpensive activity. Would you try it at home?
