gold so delicately decorated! The blue heart is gorgeous and they are all
great examples of what can be made with Premier Clay. Visit cindycima.com

Summer is here and the plants are taking over! You can use all those spare
leaves to create a leaf imprinted bowl of your choice. This quick and easy
project used an elephants ear leaf and some Plus air drying clay.
Select the leaf of your choice looking for the size and shape you prefer.
Roll out some Plus Air dry clay to around 1/4 of an inch thick and place
the leaf on top. Roll your clay roller or rolling pin over the top of the leaf
so that the leaf imprints onto the clay.
Cut around the imprinted clay to obtain your desired bowl shape
and size.
Either with your fingers or a tool smooth around the edges
with some water. Place the clay into a bowl to get a curved
shape.
Cookie cut out a heart or other shape for added decoration if
you wish.
Leave to dry completely. Sand around the edges if required.
Paint you bowl with your choice of paint and finishes.
