Bread

Hi! As you can see, I have gone a bit food crazy since my class last Wednesday. Here are pictures of my breads (they look much better for real) :

This is a circular loaf.

These are twisted rolls.



This is a french loaf of bread





Of course, this is another type of french roll.



To make my breads, I first mixed a 1 inch ball of white clay with a 1 inch ball of beige clay. I then textured the clay by mixing in a bunch of cornflour. Next, I formed my bread, using a toothpick to do my top designs on the circular and ovular loafs (I braided the clay to make my braided loafs). Lastly, to give my breads the realistic baked effect of actual bread, I mixed dry pastels to color them. In my pastel mix, I used equal amounts of dark brown, tan, goldish brown, and dark red, all scribbled on a scrap of paper and mixed together. If you make your own, adjust your pastel mix to create the bread effect you want. Afterword, simply bake your clay in a 275 degree Fahrenheit oven for about 10 minutes, give or take. Comment if you have any questions. Soon, I will upload an appetizer tray I am almost done with. Bye!
