Materials: 3 blocks of polymer clay (2 dark blue, 1 light blue pearlized)
Plastic clay sculpting tools
Paper clip
Aluminum foil - Work the dark blue clay to soften it. Work a half-block of the light blue clay, then work the two colors together -- don't completely work them together, though: some striation will provide texture.
- Roll a thick log and cut it in half.
- Place a piece of foil under the project for the rest of the steps.
- With your fingers and a rounded clay tool, shape the fish, thin out the tail and roll it up slightly.
- Unfold the paper clip and use one end to score the scales (figure A), gill, tail and eye.
- Place the foil with the fish on a small cookie pan and bake according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Once the clay is baked, place the chopsticks on the sculpted fish (figure B), and you're ready to eat!
Yield: Makes two small fish. Products: Clay and clay tools are available at the local craft store.
