@joyandfuryart: Let’s make a boat 🚣‍♂️ This was a commission I completed last summer: a miniature boat resting on the water, oars at the ready! I sculpted her from air-dry clay. Starting with paper templates, I carefully cut out the boat parts from the clay before gently piecing her together. Then came the smoothing, the details, and finally the painting. I wanted her to feel like a boat that’s been well used and loved — the kind where you can almost see someone sitting inside, quietly rowing across the water. It was 10/10 fun making this! As a tactile person, sculpting speaks to me! Adding those wood textures to the seats and aging the outside of the boat? Pure. Delicious. JOY! For the water, I used a round wood panel and added soft ripple lines with thin beads of resin, before painting the panel to mimic rippling water. I finished it with a clear glaze. Gluing the boat and her oars into place was so satisfying, and suddenly, this little boat came to life! Thanks for watching me craft, I really enjoyed creating this little beauty! - Maureen #miniatures #processart #miniatureboat #clayart #handmade
