Following my tutorial last week, more experimentation was needed and Phoebe Cummings, the clay artist, was mentioned in passing. I had both Newplast clay, as well as Fimo. I chose Newplast(modelling clay) for its temporary form building much like, as Cummings describes the temporary nature of her fine are work. The result was fabulous and the re-creation of the flowers Ifound in Preston park gardens came along nicely. Practice creating realistic leaf forms is still a work in progress. The outcome was much larger than I imagined and I eventually ran out of clay.
