For making a polymer clay hydrangeas flower you will need:
– one color of clay (if you are an experienced clay user you can mix the colors for a better product or you can just paint them at the end. The real flowers are a subtle mixture of loads of different colors )
Method:
- take a piece of clay and with your fingers make a drop out of if
- on the bigger part cut a cross. You will have now four petals
- push the petals out with a toothpick.
- put one of the petals upright and roll up on itself
- let out the rest of petals overlapping each other
- Cut other rose, now the next size and repeat the same operation with the modeling tool.
- This time put the previous bud in the center of the flower and let out the rest of petals overlapping each other(use a toothpick)
- cut another set of petals and repeat operations (you can repeat this until you have the dimension you need)
I have always loved the delicacy and vibrancy of Hydrangea flowers so I really enjoyed trying to replicate them in fimo. Regarding the colors there is not a correct way to do but I usually go for gradually building up the different colors until I’m happy with the result.
