Description

Instructions

  1. Small 105376 2f2014 11 06 132553 before

    This is how the bowl looked initially before I went ahead and painted the entire bowl in a bright orange color.

  2. Small 105376 2f2014 11 06 132604 stencil

    For the Aztec Design part I cut out stencils from an old newspaper nothing to fancy. Cut out two sizes one was large and the other one was a bit smaller.

  3. Small 105376 2f2014 11 06 132615 midddle

    I placed the larger stencil in the middle and traced an outline with a pencil and the smaller stencils i traced around the entire rim of the bowl. After that I took out my white paint and with a really thin pointed brush started filling in the design.

  4. Small 105376 2f2014 11 06 132632 gold

    When that was all filled and painted, I went over the larger design in the middle with Pastel Green Paint and outlined the entire design. Also I outlined all the designs with a Gold Sharpie.

  5. Small 105376 2f2014 11 06 132642 vase

    And that is how you make an Aztec Inspired Clay Bowl.
