Spring fantasies from Japanese clay

On the eve of March 8, flower shops are filled with spring tulips, irises, hyacinths, daffodils, always appropriate roses. Flowers are a welcome gift for this holiday, which in our emotional perception separates the long months of winter from the timidly coming and desired spring. But the flowers can be unfading, and the composition can decorate the interior for many years if it is created from the Japanese polymer clay Clay Craft by Deco. Thanks to this plastic material and a little bit of manual labor, you can create your own unique gift.

Muscari and snowdrops will look very gentle and touching, as if they have just been collected in a basket. And a vase with pansies will become a gift with meaning - in England these violets are given to each other by lovers for Valentine's Day as a symbol of love, while in medieval Europe they were generally credited with love spells. So, if you want mutual feelings to grow stronger, there is no better choice.

For those who are well versed in the art of modeling, you can create a whole flower arrangement in a "vase". Composed of delicate roses, it has a variety of stucco floristic additions - here and hydrangea inflorescences, and buds-cones of Australian brunia, and tips of shoots of Morgan sedum, and woolly leaves of silver salvia. The whole composition is fixed on a ball from an oasis, decorated with stabilized leaves of woolly stachis - these are real leaves impregnated with a preservative solution, which are sold ready-made.

Clay Craft by Deco clay is very soft and elastic, like silk, pleasant to the touch, allows you to create incredibly fine and fine details. It does not require firing, but it is surprisingly durable and reliable. The finished product dries up within 24 hours. The colors are mixed from base white clay and colored. Colored polymer clay comes in red, yellow, green, blue, brown and black. No paints are required to create a variety of colors, as clay gives a wide variety of shades when mixed. Flowers from it will breathe warmth and home comfort into your home, because you can hardly distinguish them from real ones.
