The figure consists of 3 large Terracotta pots, which are stacked after painting to a large body with head. From 2 small Terracotta-pots each, the arms are created.
First paint a large pot with a great native mask
- according to your personal taste. Big eyes, scary teeth, a colorful crown can be individually painted with permanent marker pens. Then make the finished painting weatherproof with a Protective varnish . Also paint the " upper body
" accordingly
.Before the big pots are glued together, next paint the small arm-Terracotta-pots with a light blue stripe or other own patterns. Pull a strong Ribbon approx. 100 cm long Ribbon or a Cord through the pots. So that the
Terracotta-arms hang well later, each arm is fixed at the bottom with a Pearl - just lead the Ribbon back through the bottoms of the pots and knot both ends firmly.
Now put the pot figure together. Glue "lower body" and "upper body" together with effect Glue -
this adhesive effect of the transparent gel takes some time, for this it is especially good! Put the Ribbon with the Terracotta- sleeves now between body and head shape, stick them together with Effekt Glue.
The bast skirt is made very quickly by
knotting many small natural bast strands on a thread (long enough to be wrapped around the body later). Simply "hairdress" them to the same length with scissors.
As a special something you can for example make a barrier for your figure with a round stick and aluminium foil. Finally the head only is still planted and receives so its "hair".
