Jewelry plays a very important role in our life. Even the ancient people hung beautiful stones, fangs and claws of animals, shells and pieces of bone. They believed that it would bring good luck, protect them from adversity and misfortune. Another important role of jewelry is social. Men wore parts of the animals they killed, as a sign of belonging to hunters and warriors, their shamans and leaders had their decorations. Of course, we should not forget about the practical aspect. One of the earliest ornaments that brought even more benefits were brooches, well, or their predecessors. As soon as the ancient man began to wear something more than a loincloth, it became necessary to pin, for example, raincoats from skins. The first brooches were claws of predators, details carved from bone, and even thorny plants. Over time, people learned to process metals, the brooch was modified. She became like a pin (fibula), and a buckle (agraf). And finally they became as they are now - beautiful accessories that give the appearance a much needed zest. Brooch is easy to buy in the store, but it's much more interesting to make it yourself. In this case, you will firmly believe that no one has such a brooch. This article suggests making a brooch "Gentle Orchid" made of polymer clay. Plastic is really uniquematerial for crafts. Rows of fans of jewelry made of polymer clay are replenished every day, because plastic has many colors and shades, a variety of effects, from sparkles, metallic and pearlescent to fluorescence. In addition, it is quite simple to handle. There are many legends about the orchid. In the Greek myth, it is said that this flower appeared where the slipper of the goddess of love of Aphrodite fell. According to the traditions of Maori, the orchids are fragments of the rainbow, fallen on trees and earth. Today we will make this queen of flowers. Materials for work:

Thermoplastics (white, yellow and pink for flowers and green for leaves);
A little red pastel;
Acrylic paint of pink color;
Wirewound 1 mm;
Two molds, one for the petals of the orchid, and the second one for the petals;
Hairpin-base for brooch;
Stack with a ball;
Stationery knife;
Brush;
Sponge;
Roller (acrylic or glass);
Vata.

Before you get started, you need tothoroughly clean the surface on which we will create and put on gloves. White clay is very sensitive to pollution. Petals. Roll out a layer of white clay about 0.2 mm in thickness. In advance, you can prepare paper patterns, through which we cut out petals from the layer. Their length should not be more than 2 cm. For each orchid we will need 2 round petals a little more and 3 oval petals slightly less. Orchids we have different sizes, so you will need 2 sets of 5 petals. Now you need to take mold with a texturepetals of an orchid and to roll on it petals on the one hand. The petals of the orchids are slightly concave, so we take the stack with the ball on the end, put the petal on the sponge with the side streaked upwards and lightly press down (see photo). We fasten the petals like a real flower. Heart. We mold it from pink plastics. We roll it almost in the same way as clay for petals. We will cut out with a knife. Now you need to adjust the pastel, for this, too, will approach a stationery knife. Watch out for it to crumble "into dust". Take the brush and carefully apply the pastel, as shown in the photo. Again, put our blanks on the sponge, take the stackwith the ball and pressed down the center. The core must also be concave. From two tiny pieces of yellow plastic, we roll two oval capsules and make a longitudinal groove with a toothpick or knife. Leaflets. Thoroughly knead the green plastic, roll out a thin layer. Now take a piece of wire about 6 cm in length and wrap it in 1 layer of green clay. This is the future stem. Cut out two layers from the bed. One in length is about 7 - 7.5 cm, and the second 3.5 - 4 cm. We press our leaves to the universal moldfor the petals. You need to bend the leaves a little along, so that the central vein turns out. Assembly. We take the base for the brooch and pin it to a sheet of thick paper. We glue a small amount of clay green. Along attach a large leaf. To one end of the stalk attach a small leaf. The edges of the joints are smoothed with a toothpick. We have a stalk with a small leaf on top of the large one. Now we attach a large orchid to the end of the stalk with a leaf, and a small one on the opposite side. We strengthen the core. That our brooch is not deformed duringbaking put cotton wool on the petals. We bake strictly according to the instructions written on the package. This is very important, because the unburned clay is quickly destroyed, and it's not worth talking about the burnt handicraft. When our orchids cool down, you need to put pink dots on the surface of the petals. Our brooch "Gentle orchid" is ready.
