This master class with photos and descriptions will teach you how to make flowers – roses – made of polymer clay using texturing technique.
Techniques used: texturing, creating a cane leaf, creating a gradient (smooth) color transition using a rolling pin, sculpting flowers.
To make flowers - roses– from polymer clay you will need: – Polymer clay of white and purple colors for roses – PG of three shades of green, or dark green, light green and white colors for leaves – Base for an automatic hair clip – Liquid plastic (fimo-gel) – Corrugated paper – A small piece of cardboard – Rolling pin
From purple and white colors we form two triangles, connect them as in the picture.
We roll out the elements with a rolling pin into a single layer.
Fold the resulting layer in half. To do this, lift the near edge and bend it in the middle in the direction "away from you".
Roll out the dough again.
And again we bend it in half.
We repeat folding “away from ourselves” (the direction cannot be changed) and rolling until the color transition at the junction becomes smooth.
First, white stripes will appear on the purple background, and purple ones on the white background, this is a sure sign - it means everything is done correctly. We continue the process.
After some time, the layer will acquire a gradient color transition, this is what we need.
We roll the resulting layer into a tube.
We squeeze the tube until it is tight.
We compress the PG to a minimum size and roll it into a sausage, and the sausage should have clear light and dark halves.
In a compressed state, the color transition is not so noticeable. We cut the sausage into thin petals with a blade.
We give each petal the shape of a circle.
Place the circles on corrugated paper.
We cover them with a layer of paper on top.
We roll the rolling pin over the paper so that the texture is imprinted on the petals.
Carefully remove the top layer and admire the texture.
We remove the petals from the paper, trying not to damage the texture.
Using your fingers, bend the edges of the petals a little; they will become convex and more realistic.
We roll a droplet from the remaining material.
We choose a smaller petal and put it in itdroplet. The edges of the petal should be higher than the sharp part of the droplet base. At this stage, you need to decide which part of the petals will be inside the flower and which - on the outside.
We wrap the petal around the drop-base. The light edge completely covers the base.
Prepare two more petals and glue them to the base. The outer edges of the petals should be level with the core. Glue the petals overlapping each other. Bend them slightly with your fingers to the outer side.
We form a dense stem for the bud from excess plastic.
Place the bud on a new petal. The junction of the previous petals should coincide with the center of the new petal. The outer edges of the new row of petals should be level or slightly lower than the core.
We put a new petal into the previous one. We add so many petals to completely wrap the bud. I have 3 petals.
We lift the bud and wrap it with petals. The edges of the last petal cover the edges of the first.
We turn the petals outward.
Using the same principle, we add another row of petals.
We squeeze the base with our fingers so that it looks more like a bud.
We unfold and bend each petal. The petals should lie airily and not stick together.
You can make a fold in the center of the outer petals – to do this, pinch the edges of the petal.
We cut off the leg with a blade.
We prepare at least 3 flowers according to this principle. We put the “cut” flowers on cardboard and bake.
While the roses are baking, let's create some for themworthy leaves. For this we will form a cane leaf. We will use dark green, light green and white. We also need to make a rough sketch of the future leaf.
Mix the colors to get four shades of green.
We roll them out with a rolling pin. We roll out the darkest one a little thinner, so that the surface of the layer is approximately twice as big as the others.
We place the rest of them on this large layer, one on top of the other, across the large layer, taking up no more than half of it.
Cut off the excess half and lightly roll out the second striped half with a rolling pin.
We cut the striped part in half and put the halves on top of each other.
Roll out again, cut and fold.
We compress the resulting layered "brick" so that all the layers stick together. Using a blade, we cut the layers across at a slight angle.
We unfold one of the halves and apply it toother. If the halves turned out similar, you can continue, if not - you need to cut off the excess plastic to bring the cane to the appearance as in the picture.
We cut a thin strip of green plastic the width of half a sheet and glue the half onto it.
Glue the second half. The strip should be in the center of the sheet.
We cut off the excess plastic from the top and bottom.
We wrap the sheet with the remaining plastic, pressing the top layer tightly to the central ones.
We close the top layer of plastic in the same place where we started. We cut off the excess.
We slightly squeeze the cane from all sides, giving it the desired shape.
We cut it into many thin leaves.
We texture them with corrugated paper, just like the petals.
At this stage we have several baked (hard) roses and many unbaked leaves. It's time to prepare the base for the hairpin.
We use a small base for the automatic hair clip. Roll out a small sausage and flatten it.
We begin to glue the base for the hairpin with plastic.
The plastic should cover the entire metal platform.
We bend the plastic inward.
Using a toothpick or a modeling tool, smooth out the joint of the plastic.
We take out the “spring”. Using a rolling pin, we roll out the layer from the inside.
We cut off the excess material with a blade, the base metal should remain hidden!
The base now has a very presentable appearance.
We put the “spring” back.
We drip liquid plastic onto the base of the rose.
We glue several leaves to each rose, covering its cut.
We glue the leaves to the base, starting from the edges.
We glue the leaves alternately on one side and then on the other.
We gradually move towards the center.
We press each leaf to the base with a toothpick.
When the base is filled with leaves, drip a little liquid plastic into the center.
And we place the largest rose in the center of the hair clip.
Similarly, we glue the second rose onto liquid plastic.
And the third. At this stage, you can unfold and stretch the leaves in any direction to improve the composition.
Now you can put it in the oven for the final baking.
