Below are some instructions on how to create your
own sculpey goddesses. ***Please note: sculpey is not food
safe. Please do not make drinking or eating vessels of any kind out
of sculpey.***
- First, get sculpey in the colors that you'd like to use. For
this example, I'll be using yellows and
reds to make another Fire goddess.
- Next break off some of the yellow and some of the red and work
them in your fingers.
- Then make a rough cylinder of the yellow and a long "worm" of a
small part of the red and swirl them
together.
- Work the colors so that they become marbled.
- Next, roll the entire mass into a ball.
- Separate the ball into a few pieces
- Roll one of the bigger pieces into a cylindrical shape. This will be the torso. And
roll the other pieces into three spheres
and two narrow cylinders.
- The bigger cylinder other than the torso will be the legs. Cut the piece in half.
- Shape the separate pieces into legs by
flattening one end, making a small bulge in the middle for the knee
and flattening the other end for attachment to the torso. This is how they might look.
- Next, cut the smaller cylinder in half
to make the arms. Shape the arms by
flattening one end to form the hands and flattening the other end for
attachment to the torso.
- With a sharp tool (a fork you don't plan on using to eat with
again will work fine) make marks in the
torso for adding the breasts. And, attach the breasts.
- With a sharp tool (a fork you don't plan on using to eat with
again will work fine) make marks in the bottom of the torso to
prepare it for attaching the legs and attach a leg to each side of
the torso. Attach the legs. The torso
and legs should look something like this.
- Next, attach the arms to the torso using
the same marking method.
- Last, attach the head.
- Find or buy a glass baking dish that you will only use for
sculpey. Pre-heat the oven for 300 degrees F and bake for twenty
minutes.
