Model Nessie Make
Hello all! Here you are the steps to making a mini Nessie with Jumping Clay. Remember: before you begin always knead the Clay until soft by stretching and folding.
1. Water of Loch Ness: Let’s make a base for our Nessie. Cover a popsicle stick with blue Clay.
2. Water splash: Make 6 small white balls and place them along the stick, pressing down gently.
3. Body. Roll out 2 sausages to make Nessie’s body (these will be the humps). Put them on the stick.
4. Tail: Roll out a thinner sausage for the tail. Place it on the stick.
5. Neck: Roll out the Clay again and make another sausage. Then add a bit of yellow clay to the neck. Place it on the stick too.
6. Head: Make a ball using green Clay. Then apply a bit of pressure with your palm to make a peanut like shape. Add 2 tiny green balls for the nose. Then make Nessie’s eyes with some white and black Clay. Use a pencil to make her mouth. Finally, make three 3 small yellow balls, press them down and make Nessie’s crest.
The Flower of Scotland
Alongside tartan, the thistle is perhaps the most significant symbols of all things Scottish. The thistle may only be a common weed, but it’s the national symbol of such a proud race of people. And the song ‘The Flower of Scotland’ is Scotland’s national anthem. Get to learn more here.
