Flowers from cold porcelain: lilies of the valley

Molding from cold porcelain is not anything complicated. We suggest you try your hand at creatingflowers and blind twigs of beautiful lilies of the valley. For such lilies of the valley you will need oil paints, ball and simple stacks and wire number 28. Let's start making lilies of the valley.

Mix a small amount of pale green paint with cold porcelain. From this material you will sculpt the pistilsflowers and unopened buds. For a single flower roll a ball with a diameter of 1.5 mm and run them a wire. At the end of the wire, leave a small ball. Using the stack, form a triangle, which is typical for the pestle. Then blind stamens. For this, roll the porcelain into small thin sausages. Stamens are glued to the bottom of the pistil with PVA glue. With the help of a thin stack, the final form of the stamens is formed.

Now of white porcelain blind the main part of the flower. To do this, roll a ball 0.5 cm in diameter andflatten it so that you get a uniform circle. Form with the stack six petals of the lily of the valley. Adjust the flower with your fingers. As a result, you should get a six-pointed star of the right form. On top of the lily of the dress, stick a small ball. Now use the stack to form a deepening flower. You have a finished flower. The petals of the lily of the valley can be gently wrapped up with a thin tweezers, thus recreating the natural look of the flower.

Lubricate the bottom of the core with a smallamount of glue. Pull the core into the flower of the lily of the valley. Similarly, blind some more open flowers of the lily of the valley. Smaller buds can be sculpted without a core. Undisclosed buds can be sculpted directly on the wire. Finished flowers dry on a kitchen sponge, inserting a wire into it.

When the harvested elements dry, you can collect lily of the valley from them. Collect all the flowers on the stem. Feathers of flowers and a stalk run around with green porcelain. Next, blot the broad leaves of the lily of the valley. From the ready-made elements collect your flower.
