Fish, H: 8 cm, Polystyrene, 5 pcCompleted by Gwyneth George

This was a fun project I worked on with my youngest nephews - we have a couple of other spart decorated and two more not started on.

To cover the fish I used different colours of Silk Clay CC79147.

I just took smallish pieces of the clay and pulled and streched it for a while before making it into thin, flat, pieces and placing it on the fish.

I went all over the fish with different coloured pieces, making sure that each piece adhered to its neighbouring pieces and smoothing down as I went.

Once the whole fish was encased in the clay I used a plastic clay tool knife to put a few markings on the fish and left it to dry.
