Do you guys love making things out of clay either it is polymer or mud clay I love this craft since I was a child I have been doing this when I was young I used to did this as hobby. I have been regularly participating in this creative space for a few weeks and each time I tried to do something different last time I did embroidery on my shopping bag and now I tried to make something miniature out of clay. I was thinking to make tiny pottery or some miniature dollhouse size pots as I was good at making these kind of things also it was my first time here doing something with clay after a long time so I was only able to make a single piece of art.

When I was a child I used to mke these kind of stuff so I have some good memories as well as a deep relation with this hobby. I still remember in thise days I used to spend a lot of time while making these things I have been making many dollhouses and miniature with my neighbour friends we get together and used to find clay in open fields it was a lot of fun. I love clay crafting as we can make almost anything out of it that want to see thinking of an object and then making,colouring is really enjoyable.

It doesn't require a lot of stuff to make you only need things below

Clay
Water
Colours

You can also make this on a tiny potter's wheel to make a perfect and balanced pice but as I don't have any so I've made this directly with my hands.
Nowadays it is quite a trouble to find clay here in my region but a few days ago when I went on a walk I found some in a wheat field and it was enough to make a handful piece of clay and it could be a vase or a kettle. I only make these kind of stuff. Below is Gif of the early procedure as if they will be posted separately it will make article an image gallery 😁.

I made this on the evening of Tuesday and left it in my wardrobe next day I was lucky that it was sunny as well as an airy day so it makes it easier to dry outside.

I didn't colour it on the smae day bcz it was still a little bit moist from inside so I had to wait another day to make sure is it ready for next step. Finally on Thursday morning it was ready for it's final finishing.
I started by it's base give it a black colour.

The middle line is painted yellow I had to paint it twice to make sure it is still visible as the first layer didn't seem to be enough. After that I also made some vertical red patches the neck is black and mouth of vase is also red.

After that I filled all gap between these red patches with bright white cloour while I know it is not as much bright but still looking fine.

Did you see that the handle is also red after thta I left it for an hour to air dry and making it reafy for next step to give it further details some petals with yellow colour and some green vertical leaves including a stem which symbolize a permanent spring.

I didn't remember to take shots while drawing with pointer but you can see it in the video after all these I went out and pick some wild flowers to sdore my tiny vase.
