Hello Steemit people, has it not happened to you that you feel that nature has a connection with you?

Without further restriction let's start.

Paint the Mass.
To paint the dough you can use different materials such as: Acrylic Paint, Oils, Watercolors or Chalks, each of them gives a different tone and intensity; in this case we will use Acrylic Green Grass or Green Grama Paint, with a Stiletto or Orange Stick we apply paint on the mass, then proceed to mold it (if you do not want to stain your hands a surgeon type gloves or Latex Fingers) do this procedure Repeatedly until reaching the desired shade of green, then store the dough in an airtight container or wrap the dough in Film Paper, once that process is finished, proceed with Step 1
Postscript
The Flexible Dough once painted, drying its color darkens one to two tones.
Step 1
Take a sphere of Flexible Mass, with the help of your palms and straight movements with little force create a kind of sphere with a conical tip, then rest the piece on the surface and with your fingers flattens a bit both on the edges and in the center of the piece as shown in the picture.
Step 2
Take small pieces of dough and form cylinders which you will stick with the help of white glue and a stiletto on top of the heart, then make thinner cylinders to make a species of roots which will be in various areas of the piece.
Step 3
With the help of the X-acto, make cuts to the main roots of the Heart to create the characteristic texture of the Trunks of the Trees, then add the rest of the details which are more roots, pieces of very thin mass around the piece for simulate the bark, screws and rivets characteristic of Steampunk.
Step 4
Proceed to paint all the spaces and corners of the piece of black, then once dry with the Dry Brush Technique begins to add the details in the wood on the main roots of color Bronze, Copper for the large roots of the sides.
Step 5
Add the final details such as the screws in Silver, Copper rivets, the sides and the back of the piece applies Oro minero; with White Glue fixes the pieces of clock and in the spaces of the piece it adds small pieces of Green Flexible Mass in the form of Moss to the whole piece, finally it places an Eyedpins with its ring and chain.
Final Score
