New way to have fun with my Hands!!

I like to challenge myself with things I thought impossible for me. After much fascination over the beautiful modelling clay flowers, I enrolled myself to a modelling clay flower class. The first task is to make tiny lotus. I was frustrated at my clumsiness and the shapes of pedals and leaves I made and nagged my instructors to tell me what's there to learn.

My padels look like distorted tiny pinky nails to begin with and my supposed rounded leave turns out triangular to begin with too. But persistant me won't give up. After much of kneading, petering clay with iron stick and sore shoulder....let's see what I have achieved!!!

Who would imagine I could do something like this?

Finished leaves, lotus buds and pollens 

Tiny pedals and leaves compare to the handy drive 

does size matter? 

Do I need reason to be proud of this??

Feeling Vietnamese!!
