I DO like to do the dishes (IN CLAY)

this is my second dish, it is smaller then the first bat sadly has the same amount of air bubbles in it. i really wont to CRAY. it seems i cant get rid of the pesky little things, bat i decided i don't care (right). any way i really really like this one, the cane design is a happy accident and that cooler of turquoise is exactly my favorite.

if anybody has any advise on how to get rid of air bubbles besides be careful when you place the clay on the surfers and yous a needle i will love you for ever for shearing it with me. and plas you will save me from tearing my hair off!

sorry about the pics thy didn't came out that good.

מכינים יריעות של פימו, בצבעים איתם רוצים לעבוד על הרמה הכי עבה במכונה (1) בדרך כלל.


חותכים לפי העין לרצועות דקות, אני עובדת כאן עם אורך קצר ועובי דק, בשביל ההדגמה. אפשר לעבוד עם כל אורך ועובי.







מכינים יריעה מפימו לבן בעובי הדק ביותר (9) או אם זה דק מדי אפשר (8) זה לא משנה.









מניחים את הרצועות על היריעה הלבנה, כמה שיותר צמוד אחד לשני - התוצאה תהיה:צבע,לבן,צבע,לבן,צבע

חותכים את היתר, משני הצדדים











ומעבירים לאורך דרך המכונה על רמה מ"ס 1 ואז 2 ואז3 עד רמה 7 כולל. עד שמקבלים משטח כזה.







חותכים את היתר משני הצדדים


ואז חותכים את המשטח באמצע.

מניכים את המשטח על עצמו פנים לפנים קח, מאוד חשוב להקפיד על הדיוק של צבע מול צבע.

זו צריכה להיות התוצאה











.מעבירים דרך המכונה, חותכים לשניים וחוזרים על הפעולה כ-15 פעמים או עד שאתן מרוצות מהתוצאה
















חותכים את השאריות וזו התוצאה

Tropical Flower Tutorial

by: Ari farber

the type of clay i used is fimo soft.

you take a bullseye blended cane.








and you cut it in helf, lenght ways.









you put it on a flat surface and you flatten it on 1 side,
through its entire length.









you keep doing it untill yougrt this result









you pick up the clay and start rolling it on itself.
.










then you put it back on the table and start pushing the edges together to close it.
.










this shoud be your result.

Tropical Flower Tutorial Part 2

then by using your thumb and forefinger you squeeze the top side to look like this.









you lengthen the cane till you get it to the desired thickness










then you measure it and cut it to 2 pieces. 5\8" and 3\8".
you lengthen the 3\8" piece till it gets to the length of the 5\8"

you will then have 2 canes with the same pattern that are at the same length but not at the same width.

then you cut each cane in to 5 equal pieces








you then take the thicker 5 pieces and place them in the center like so










you place the thinner 5 pieces around them.










you can then add a leaf cane (prepared in advance ) or not.









you take another color of clay and fill in the holes around the flower. (I like to make the fill in clay into a long triangle and fill the gaps with that)










then reduce.










cut a slice and enjoy your new cane.
