My Son’s First Painting

My Son’s First Painting:

This cute little hand is belongs to my handsome son who is 13 month year old.  We were having fun with drawings and paints. After some time, I tried colouring his palm with paint for fun and tried taking the impression of his pretty little hand on a paper.

He saw his painted hand on the paper and was surprised. He then tried the same using with some other colour. He enjoyed doing it again and again with different colours making the coloured water spill over and messing the floor. He was having a lot of fun.  I silently picked one finger painted paper and preserved it sticking it on my room wall.

Time went by and I had to clean the messed up place. But he was not ready for it. He started to cry whenever I tried cleaning the place. He wants to play again and again. It seems there was no end to it.

Our first painting together was such a cute moment in my life. Not only on the paper but my son has painted my life in beautiful colours. And he is ready to paint more and I don’t care about the mess anymore… we are in the process of messing the place the again.

With Love,Frog

With Love, Frog

In today’s post, I am going to make a simple frog using polymer clay (green,yellow,red and blue). 

 Body:

You can make one big round ball in whatever colour you like for the body of the frog. Here, I am using green colour.

Head:
Place small yellow ball above the green ball and press the yellow ball flat on the round shape. Mold one side smaller than the other as shown in the figure 

Take another green round ball and smooch onto the work surface to make them flat (as shown in the figure). Using your needle tool, mark the mouth and make a curved line. To make the mouth more gaping, use a razor and cut.

For the Eyes: 

Use small green balls to make the eyes. Take another small yellow ball which is smaller than green balls and press it on the green one.

Eyes:

Next, place very small blue or black ball over the eye ball as shown in the figure. Place the eye ball on the flatten green clay.

Legs:
Take 4 even balls of clay.Mold into a teardrop shape and smooch onto the work surface to make them flat.

Cut grooves in the middle of the widest part.Cut two more grooves (one on each side) to make the four “toes”.Lengthen and shape the toes using needle tools and your fingers. Place the head on the top of the body and the legs on the sides.

Finally, make a heart

Take red color and make it round shape and  press as shown in the figure

Cut at the top  in v –shape and shape it

Place it on the frog as shown in the figure.
