Bluebirds of Happiness!

These first grade ceramic birds are so sweet! We started with two balls of clay, one large,one small. We attached the clay pieces with the "scratch to attach" method using a little water to create a slip. We pulled a tail by stretching the clay with our fingers, and a little beak by pinching the clay! A little scratch stick was used for texture and eyes. After firing, we painted our little birds blue

hoping to spread a little happiness to those that see them!
