How to make beautiful bowl (Part 2)

How to make beautiful bowl (Part 2)
Step 3
To make the ‘foot’ of the bowl, cut a strip of card 2 x 30cm (3/4” x 12”). Bend round to form a circle and secure the ends with a piece of masking tape. Turn the bowl upside down and glue the circle of card to the bottom f the bowl (fig.3). To strengthen, tape with small piece of masking tape. Cover the food and the bottom of the bowl with one layer of pasted newspaper strips. Leave to dry.
 
Step 4
To give the bowl a textured look, paste the bowl with wallpaper paste a section at a time and press torn piece of tissue paper onto the bowl with your fingers, pushing the paper into creases as you work. Cover the entire bowl and leave to dry.

Step 5
To add the textured rim, roll out sausages of paper pulp and press onto the rim, squeezing the edges with your  dinger to dorm a slightly fluted effect. Press sausage of paper pulp  to the foot of the bowl and, to make the decorative holes, press the end of a pencil into the pulp. Leave to dry overnight or until hard.

Step 6
To decorated the bowl, we used Pebeo Deco Pearl paints. They cover in one coat, dry quickly, require no varnishing and come in a range of colours. Paint the outside of the bowl with turquoise and allow to dry. Sponge the chicks and the rim and foot of the bowl with emerald. Paint the inside of the bowl with emerald (fig.4). Using pink, paint a daisy between each chick adding a spot of gold for the centre of each flower. Add two leaves either side of each daisy in emerald. Paint wavy lines of pink and violet just under the room of the bowl. Spot in the eyes of the chicks with a little pink. Leave to dry.

Step 7
Water down some gold paint slightly and wipe over the bowl so that the raised texture and chicks catch the gold and give a distressed look to the surface. Finally, highlight the chicks and the rim and foot of the bowl with a little undiluted gold paint so that they stand out against the background. Allow the bowl to dry and then

Step 8
To decorate your blown eggs, give each egg a different coloured coat of pearl paint. Allow to dry and then dot each egg with assorted colours and, finally, sponge with a little gold paint.
