Handbuilding
Tool
Here is my tip of the day..... take a
baggie and fill it partially with some play sand or grog, tie up the top (or
zip if using a ziplock), get a white sock and put the baggie of sand inside,
tie off the top of sock and you have a wonderful soft tool to use to push clay
onto/into molds you are handbuilding in....also works great inside small spaces
and for softly pounding on your clay when pressing on design reliefs like your
new stamps! You can make several and use them for different colors of
clay....when dirty, just toss in the washer!
