Model Magic Bear Buddy

Create a vibrant marbled bear buddy using two different colors of model magic provided in your Crealdé Art To Go box. You can follow the directions below or watch a Crealdé artist, Belinda Glennon, demonstrate in the attached video. 1) Reserve from one color a pea size piece of clay for the snout and ears. 2) Roll each color into a noddle about 4 inches long and lay them side by side. Pick them up and twist them from the ends to make a candy cane twist. 3) Roll the twist up like a snail and then roll into a ball. Colors will begin to integrate and marble. Repeat these steps about 3 times for a fine marbled texture. 4) Twist off and reserve a large pea size ball for the 4 legs. Set aside. 5) Roll the rest of the marbled clay into a short cylinder shape then gently squeeze one end to form the head of the bear. Set aside. 6) Take the reserved marbled bit and divide it into 4 equal sections and roll each into a ball. Take one in your fingers tap gently on the table to flatten a side then press onto the bear body. Continue with the remaining 3 balls. Gently shape the legs after they are attached. 7) Select the reserved solid color and twist off a small piece for the snout. Attach to the bear head using the same process as the legs. 8) Twist off another small piece from the solid color and divide it into 2 small balls. Gently squeeze each ball to flatten then press onto the head for the ears. Adjust shape as needed. 9) Take one more small piece the size of a rice grain and press to the back end of the bear for the tail. 10) In the cup is a small piece of black. Pinch off a tiny piece and roll a ball. Press it onto the bear's snout and use the toothpick to make 2 nostrils. Using the side of the toothpick (or a sharpie finepoint marker) make a vertical line from the nose and then a horizontal line for the mouth. shape resembles an anchor. 11) For the eyes, roll a tiny ball and cut into two pieces with the toothpick. Roll each one into a tiny ball. With the point of the toothpick spear a ball and then press onto the bear head just above the snout. Repeat with the remaining tiny black ball.
