Hello, how are you? It is the first day of March, and the heat from the sun is so unbearable that my brother surprisingly treated us to ice cream, and I luckily bought the one with four cones of ice cream freebies, and it's a win-win for us.
So, my clay keychain for this month is focused on cold desserts because this summer, some vendors are going to sell cold desserts around. So for today, I am going to make a Fish-Shaped Cone with Matcha Ice Cream, which I tasted once, but the ice cream is inside the fish-shaped cone. Surprisingly, I like the taste of the ice cream.
Materials I Used:
- Polymer Clay
- Glass Sheet
- Weighing Scale
- Needle Tool
- Dotting Tool
- Acrylic Stamping Block
- Soft Pastels
- Brush
- Piping Tool
- Clay Tool
- Liquid Clay
- Eyepin
- Oven
- Keychain
- Pliers
Craft Time!
I condition and weigh the clay I am going to use.
Shape that into the shape of the fish body.
Then I am going to my clay tool to shape the mouth.
And then I form the fins, I shape them one by one, and arrange them by place. Set them aside for later.
Using this needle tool, I added a reference to add something later.
Using the dotting tool, I draw the eyes and scales.
Then I rolled this thin clay and added it to the reference I made earlier.
And then I added the fins I shaped earlier.
Using the needle tool, I added the texture of the fins.
To add shades, I use soft pastels and a brush.
Time to add the ice cream. What I do is I soften the clay I am going to use, which is this matcha green, and then I place it into a piping tip.
And then using the tip of the clay tool, I push out the clay, and then after that, I twisted it, and this is what it looks like.
And I added that on top of the fish shape cone I made earlier.
And then I added this strawberry I made earlier.
And then I added the pepero, which I rolled some clay and cut into three pieces, and then I poured liquid clay into an acrylic stamping block, and then scraped some soft pastels mix them, and then rolled the clay I made earlier. Let them dry.
And then I put those pepero into the ice cream part, and then I added the eyepin.
Bake in a preheated oven for the time and temperature as instructed on the back of the package.
To add the keychain, I put the jumpring along with the keychain into the eyepin.
And then lock it using my two pliers.
