Art Class

I mean earrings :-D

This is my late post about art class. I wrote in on 19 September 2013.

This morning I did crochet. This was my second time do crochet in Newcastle. Actually, I   knew crochet for the first time when I was at Primary, in year 6. My art teacher introduced it to me. She taught us how to make a doll, that was very difficult, but then we were really enjoy to do it.

Pat is our teacher in the crochet class at First Step. She is left handed so does everything such as crocheting, threading, etc always uses her left hand. Sometimes I feel confuse when she tried to teach me or showed me how to do it, because we have different way. She is a good art teacher because she always supports us to do the best. She knew that we still get a lot of difficulties in doing art for the first time, but she kept calm and patience.

She showed us how to make jewelleries from small wood pieces and eggshell. She also brought some jewelleries from those. They were really beautiful. Maybe I try to write down some instructions how to make it.

First, we need to prepare some materials and toolkits, they are:

• Small pieces of wood, make it into many kinds of shape, depend on purpose, bracelet, earrings, or necklace.
• Eggshells, you need to clean and drain it before using it. White eggshell is better than brown one, because you put any colour on white surface.
• Glue.
• Varnish
• Alcohol colouring (I am not sure with this one)

Instructions:

1. Take the wood and put the glue on it
2. Take eggshell and put it on the glue, push it gently, so the eggshell crack smoothly create pattern. Do it until all of the wood surface is covered with eggshell. Let it dry
3. Colour the eggshell, let it dry
4. The last step is varnish all the surface of the wood and let it dry
5. Ta da…..you will find a beauty, colourful, and shiny jewellery
