Emily, the funny swinging sheep, sits on the bookshelf and happily dangles her legs, the stable body is Modelling clay worked on with air-hardening, the Polystyrene cone head and the fur are then modelled and simply attached.
Here's how it works
Tape a plastic bag tightly over the Polystyrene-cone so that it fits snugly. Knead the Modelling clay for the body softly , roll it out about 5 mm thick and cut it to size with a large knife. Put the modelled plate around the cone, spread the edges and lubricate them smooth. For this purpose mix a little Modelling clay with water to a smooth paste.
Now softly knead the mass for the head and model a pear-shaped basic shape. Press in the eye sockets, carve the nostrils and mouth with the modelling tool and finish. For the ears model two ellipses, press in the inner areas and work out the shape plastically. Slightly roughen the modelled areas where the ears are to be attached and moisten with a brush. Then place the head on the body and the ears on the head, the transitions are smoothed
For the wool press Modelling clay through a garlic press, apply to the torso with a Spatula and spread.
Tip
If you put the damp figure into a tightly closed plastic bag, it can be worked on further even after several days without problems.
Let the whole figure dry well, then remove the Polystyrene cone and paint the face skin-coloured. Remove the wire loops from the bear eyes and glue the eyes with hot glue. Paint the clogs chimney red, after drying put white dots on shoes and ribbon. Turn a thick Cord from Knit felting wool , stick it into the shoes and into the body. Tie a bow from the dotted Ribbon , finally place the glasses.
