bunch of grapes ... tutorial was a bit 'that I wanted to make magnets and now gone a bit' by the need to prevent the sheets of notes or recipes to fly anywhere in the kitchen, I decided it was time to start to make some and since this is the grape season why not start with a beautiful bunch?
Detto e fatto e ho pensato che magari potesse essere d'aiuto anche a qualcun altro così ho preparato questo semplice tutorial, per questo grappolo ho usato della pasta di mais ma null a impedisce di usare qualsiasi altra pasta modellabile.
Materiali
Serve della pasta di mais colore naturale,
viola,
marrone e
verde,
mattarello,
taglia pizza,
forbicine,
true leaves or leaf mold,
greaseproof paper,
toothpick
magnet
chalk or watercolors.
On a piece of paper pull a bakery pastry natural color and cut with pizza cutter like a triangle that will serve as a basis.
Now with pasta purple begin to do that would we put the ball on the small triangle of white paste previously wet with water or glue and continue until all the dough we covered below.
With the brown paste realize the stem, we make a pretty big spaghetti with the cutter and cut the segments then we score the dough with a toothpick in order to remember the effect of the plant's life like in the picture.
With glue them join the cluster by creating a branch.
Now pull a sheet of green p auction and support a true leaf so that the back rests on the dough and rolling pin slightly so that you spend be impressed veins of the leaf.
I like to use the foglie di ortensia o di salvia, trovo abbiamo delle bellissime venature che rendono benissimo sulla pasta di mais ma purtroppo durante l'inverno non si riesce a trovarle e per questo mi sono fatta degli stampi che poi vi mostro.
Adesso con il tagliapasta ritagliamo una forma a pentagono nella parte dove le venature sono più sottili.
Con una forbicina facciamo dei tagli su ogni lato
Sempre con la forbicina fac ciamo dei tagli a zig zag in modo di fare un margine seghettato.
Ancora con la pasta verde facciamo un spaghetto thin and rolled on a toothpick, so we got the tendrils.
Now add more purple balls of dough on our cluster, creating a second layer is not compact, right where you need to hide the pasta and give the three-dimensional cluster, add the leaves and tendrils.
Now our cluster is finished, we should give some hint of color, usually use watercolors or acrylics depends on the effect I want to achieve, expect work to be dry and proceed to color but this time I wanted to try a different way, I used chalk on the piece still wet and I must say that I particularly like the effect produced on the leaves, it seems quite likely.
After the cluster is well dried, I stuck to the magnet.
And last I spent all work or a protective coating that can be matte, glossy or semi gloss, I have chosen to give an effect similar to porcelain.
As I said before, I like to use the leaves of hydrangea leaves and sage because they have a very beautiful grain, but winter is a bit 'difficult to find and for this I built a little 'mold.
I tried a variety of materials, from corn paste, to chalk it up to use a kind of dry pasta that looks like a two-component silicone rubber ... unfortunately at this moment the name escapes me, I show you some tests I've done a few years ago are leaves of various species of plants and are still in good condition.
My problem was that I would have liked to have the opportunity to make a paste of the leaves with the veins both above and below, I did a bit 'of tests, first with the cast supporting a leaf on fresh plaster and let it dry, but was not always good I sometimes it bubbles, then I tried the pasta with corn and here I have managed better, but sometimes it was difficult to remove the leaf of dough from the mold as hard as I tried this sort of two-component silicone rubber, I mixed the two colors, I lay there and I pressed on a leaf, let it dry and removed the leaf and I got negative.
Then I mixed it again a little more 'of dough and press on to the die I had also already obtained the positive.
And here's the complete mold with beautiful grain, does not stick to dough and is flexible enough to pull off the leaf pulp obtained without running the risk of pull out.
I really hope that you enjoy this tutorial and you can be helpful.
