Materials and tools:
- Polymer clay (colors of your choice)
- Machine
- Czextuder + LC Disk 2 (extension with 3 holes)
- Scalpel, blade
- Liquid polymer clay
- • Bowl (mold – I used ø10cm)
Step 1
Condition polymer clay in two colors. I used brown and green. Brown clay fills up ⅔ of the Czextruder barrel. Green clay fills up the rest (⅓).
Step 2
Put both colors in the Czextruder and extrude the clay. Use the extension with 3 holes from LC Disk 1.
Step 3
Let’s make the bowl. Prepare your mold. Coil the first extrusion to make a spiral. Continue till you reach the end of the extrusion.
Step 4
Take another extrusion and continue. Smooth the joint.
Step 5
Continue this way with the third extrusion.
Step 6
Extrude clay in the green color. Roll the extrusion to make one end thinner.
Step 7
Make 3 small balls and use liquid polymer clay to stick them to the bottom. Bake according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Step 8
Let it cool down completely and remove the bowl from the mold.
