Somehow a wandering through the expanses of the Internet, with her daughter they saw products of masters from a salt dough, in particular the clock in the form of fish, and we began to work. But in the process of drying the fish was cut.
And I decided to try to cut out fish out of plastic - the good of the husband gave a whole kilogram for the new year to a gift))) And that's what I did:
At first I painted a sketch of fish on paper:
Then she rolled the plastic with a thickness of 0.5 cm and moved the drawing on the "cake":
The contour was cut off with a stationery knife, the edge "rounded" with fingers moistened in water, and in hard-to-reach places - a tassel:
Reverse strand brushes "Sell" contours of the picture:
The hole for the mechanism is cut at once, since plastic drying becomes very strong, especially such a thickness. In general, I liked to work with more with a plastic than with a salty test - the dough is very quickly covered with a crust and therefore it is almost impossible to fix the flashes. Plastic remains plastic for 3 hours. The only moment is as the plastic contains moisture - when drying, the fish has a little "shuffled", and in the corners under the dial, it cracked a little, perhaps, because when raking the layer, I pulled it strongly.
Fish was dried by me somewhere a week))) in the air naturally. There was no time to do it. On the installer to the plastic it was written that dries in the course of 24 hours.
Breasting white acrylic paint - I think that this stage could not be done ... Paint (white) bought in a construction store.
Now, our fish apart ...
Color pencil drawn mouth and fins. The dial was found on the Internet and printed on color cardboard. I also tried to work with Patalla, which for a couple of years I was groaning in the drawer of the table, but when the fish was coated with an acrylic varnish (also for taking care), the Patal cloudy and drawing fins and the mouth with a color pencil "flowed" and slightly changed their color. It was notated by ordinary varnish, because I wanted to be a fish to be matte. The clock mechanism "planted" to Silicon with the help of a silicone pistol. The opposite direction had to "re-establish" the plastic (from the folder), as when dried near the dial, the angles were crackled.
