Corals and Sea Sponges

Hello, welcome to another tutorial. Today I will show you how to make corals and sea sponges with Creative Paperclay® and Delight Clay. I am working towards a bass relief mixed media board using these and the shells we made last month.

Next month we will paint them and put them all together! The Delight Clay™ was perfect for the sponges. It has a light marshmallow text much like a sponge. The supplies you need are listed below along with a video tutorial showing you how to make the corals and sea sponges.

Seaside Shells with Delight Clay™

Hello and welcome to another blog post. Today I am continuing with my seaside theme. We will be making some shells using Delight Clay™ and a mold.

Supplies needed:

Delight Clay™
Folk Art Parchment Multi-Surface Acrylic Paint
Clear Gesso
Gold Mica Powder *
Acrylic Glazing Medium*

*If you don't have these use a pearl acrylic paint.

Follow the steps below:

Begin by adding a drop of off-white acrylic paint to the Delight Clay and blending. This will give a nice base color for the shells.

Now press the clay into the mold.

Gently remove and set aside to dry.

Trim the edges with scissors if necessary and sand away any uneven bits. I nail file is perfect for this.

Apply a coat of clear gesso and allow to dry.

To finish off, mix a bit of gold mica powder with an acrylic glazing medium and use to paint the shells.

Arent those beautiful! And they were so simple to make. Be sure to save these as we will be using them on a mixed media board soon. Next month I will be making corals, also with Delight Clay™ so be sure to subscribe so you don't miss out.
