Start with a small pinch of clay on your hand. You can press it
with your thumb or your palm to make it as thin
as you can. Once you have it, carefully rolled up the piece of slab and
it would look like this.
Now put this piece down and repeat the process
like before. It is okay if it's too thin and you accidently tore it.
You can just put it down and use it later. As you can see,
the shape of this small slab, does not matter. Before we wrap this slab around
the first piece,
we're going to put some slip onto the first piece.
Then, gently wrap the slab
around the first piece like this. Odd shaped slabs
actually makes the piece more natural. There will usually be excess clay at
the bottom
so just pinch it off. This is going to be my third
and last petal for this flower. You can actually make more
and make the flower bigger as you wish. Just keep repeating the steps
and adding more to your flower. Once you had made the flower,
you can attach them to any of artwork
that you have made.
