How to Model a Souvenir Horse in a Coat out of Clay

Dear friends!

I want to show you how I made the Blue Horse. The Horse in a Coat is a character from a Russian folk proverb. People use it as an answer to irritating questions like 'Who was there?', or 'Who did it?' — 'A horse in a coat'. In Russian, it sounds to rhyme.

So, roll out a piece of clay of 5 mm thickness on a piece of rough textured fabric.

Make a rectangle of 18х8 cm

Apply slip (liquid clay) at the edges:

...and make notches:

Fold the workpiece in half, avoiding glueing the bottom:

Make a kind of a bag:

Now mold the muzzle of the horse:

See it :)

Follow the steps to make the same head::

Now add the legs and the tail:

I decorated the tail with a button:

The item can be painted with acrylic paints after drying.

Our clay horse requires firing at a temperature of 1000 degrees.

I'm sure you will succeed :)
