Polymer clay miniature.
Violin |

 |
Mahogany wood simulation.
Wooden polymer clay
Roll balls from polymer clay 1.5 cm in diameter:
- 3 dark brown
- 1 beige
- 1 black
|
| |
|
 |
Make 3 logs from the ball (put 3 brown balls together) |
| |
|
 |
Attach logs to each other |
| |
|
 |
Bend them and roll and bend again and roll.
Repeat till slightly marbled |
 |
| |
 |
From the marbled clay make a ball and flatten in to the work surface to get circle about 0.8 cm thick.
Put template on the top and cut |
 |
| |
|
 |
F-holes: roll black polymer clay in a very thin log and apply to the base
Tailpiece: from black polymer clay make a tall trapeze about 1.2 cm long. Apply to the base as shown
Chinrest: roll a ball from black polymer clay about 0.2 cm in diameter. With ball ended tool make a hollow. Apply to the base
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
Fingerboard: roll black polymer clay into a log, flatten till 0.4 cm thick, put paper template on and cut.
Pegbox: apply two "wooden" stripes onto the sides of the fingerboard.
Scroll: from "wooden" polymer clay make a form as shown. Attach to the fingerboard
With knife mark 3 stripes on the scroll.
Attach 2 tiny balls to both sides of the scroll |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
From black balls (0.2 cm each) of polymer clay form 4 teardrops shapes. Attach them to the Pegbox - two from each side. |
 |
| |
 |
Bridge: roll a ball from beige polymer clay, flatten into the work surface and cut in a half.
With knife make 4 cuts on the one of the halves |
 |
| |
|
 |
Attach all parts to the violin base. To support the Neck of the violin put piece of wood (or already baked clay) under.
Cut strings from very thin wire. Use white polymer clay to simulate Fine Tunes. The same time they will protect wire from "disappearing" from the place.
This is the most longest part of project and you need to be very patient. |
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
Bow: roll 2 logs from beige and "wooden" polymer clays. Flatten them slightly.
Apply 2 black balls to the wooden stripe. |
 |
|
|
|
Bake all pieces for 20 minutes, 120 C |
| |
|
 |
Glue the pieces of the bow together with PVA. |
 |
| |
|
 |
Varnish your violin.
It's ready |
