Making the Cap for Clay Mushroom Incense Burner

Video Transcript

Hi, I'm Melina, and welcome to Expert Village. Today we're going to make a beautiful mushroom and butterfly incense burner out of polymer clay. In this next step we're going to shape the cap of the mushroom. So what we're going to do is we're going to take our ball, we're going to cut off a third of it. That's what we're going to use to make our stem. So we're going to put that aside. You're going to end up with this half ball and take the most beautiful part of it and point it upwards. That's what you're going to use as the mushroom cap. You're going to start molding around; you're going to put your thumbs at the bottom here, the bottom part that you just sliced off. And you're going to start molding around like this to make a mushroom shape. So basically you're going around like this with your thumbs at the bottom and your index fingers at the top, pressing in the top of the ball to give it the appearance of a mushroom cap.
