Posted on at


For the manufacture of a cat, you will need:
- A large plastic bottle,
- Metal wire,
- Cement,
- Sand,
- Plaster,
- Water,
- Wooden slats,
- Paint,
- Paint and a little imagination.

Because gypsum-cement mortar hardens on the hands very quickly, it is necessary to work in rubber gloves.

The sequence of works: cut the top of the bottle. To the solution from it flew, it pulls on the metal wire pieces, bring down and fasten it to the frame. Dilute mortar with sand in proportions of 1: 1, which is the consistency of thick cream should resemble. Since the plaster hardens very quickly, add it directly to the portion that you hold in your hand. Remembering the lessons of clay modeling, where we took the material and kneaded it, and then shaping the sausages, secured to the frame of future figures. It retains the same principle. First lepim frame, giving it the desired shape and then molding a cat muzzle of the small balls. When a cat figurine is ready, cover it with plastic and leave it for three or four days to dry completely. On the first day constantly moisturize figure, and after drying, sanded using nazhdachki, removing lumps and bumps.
Painting the figure can be any proof paint (latex paints, enamel). After staining, varnished. Give dry and voila - cat is ready! Do not forget to remove the seals on the winter in the room to figure not crack.
