30-day Playdough Challenge: Day 4: Strawberries

-
Today it was turn for some strawberries. Here are the steps recollected in the form of photos:

First, I took the entire stick of clay and divided it into four portions. I kneaded them and created four balls.


With the help of the base of my palms, I shaped these up to look like strawberries.



I used my compass (from geometry box) to create the achenes. I could not fill the pores with seeds, though.


I used green clay to create the leaves and stems to go on top of the strawberries. The ones shown below are a little bigger, which I readjusted later when attaching to the strawberries.


I added the leaves on a strawberry and this is how it looked:


I repeated with the other three and this is how they looked after finishing:

Although this was some Chinese clay with no label, I really couldn't decide on buying some lest they should turn faulty and unworthy of sculpting. But then I seriously thought of giving it a try and bought this rather colorful looking set of clay. This set has almost every color (two shades of the same color which was absolutely unnecessary) except for black! I was so upset because a lot of things needed black in them. So I let out a deep sigh and said goodbye to my dream of making a penguin! I wanted to try something as simple as a candy or a caterpillar of one color. But when I looked at the white clay, I decided that I would go for Hello Kitty first! Using playdough to create stuff does not really need any specific directions. All you have to do is use your imagination and fingers, and you will end up with a nicely sculpted clay model. So I am just going to post
