  Step 1

  Take a portion of your colored clay (approx. two cm in diameter) and roll it into a ball.

• 

  Step 2

  Shape the ball into a cone. What I do is roll the ball at an angle against the palm of my hand using my fingers.

• 

  Step 3

  Place the whale on a table or flat surface and press gently from the top. This is to flatten the bottom of the whale so it can stand on it’s own without rolling away.

• 

  Step 4

  Next, curl the narrow end of the cone up...

• 

  Step 5

  at about a ninety degree angle.

• 

  Step 6

  Now roll two small balls of colored clay, about o.5 cm in diameter.

• 

  Step 7

  We are going to turn them into a leaf like shape. To start off, simply pinch one end of one of the ball’s:

• 

  Step 8

  Then flatten:

• 

  Step 9

  And shape the other ball.

• 

  Step 10

  Now gently press the narrow end of these against the narrow end of the whale:

• 

  Step 11

  ...

• 

  Step 12

  Now attach the other one.

• 

  Step 13

  Now curl the tail forward...

• 

  Step 14

  this will make the tail stronger and less likely to break:

• 

  Step 15

  Now roll a super tiny ball of colored clay, about 2-4 mm thick.

• 

  Step 16

  Flatten it until it is about 1 mm thick.

• 

  Step 17

  Gently press it on top of your whale.

• 

  Step 18

  Next, using your toothpick poke a hole in the center of the clay you just attached.

• 

  Step 19

  Now your whale has a spout : )

• 

  Step 20

  Now roll two tiny balls of black clay, around 1-2 mm thick.

• 

  Step 21

  These will be the eyes. Now, gently press them on the face of your whale.

• 

  Step 22

  Now your whale is complete!

• 

  Step 23

  It’s also fun to play around with sizes and colors:

  I hope the tutorial was easy to follow, enjoy!

When I have new batteries for my camera I'll put it online.
I love the simplicity of this whale-project.
