Micro Moshlings Bread Clay: Rest of the Gang

It was a week long of bread clay and moshlings posts, it was fun creating these cuties but there are lots more other crafts and too little time, heh! Anyhow, sometimes it's nice to create if only to take fun pictures. So here's the rest of the gang in one go~

Micro Moshlings Bread Clay: Jeepers

This is Jeepers Moshling, a cutesy tiger-ling. Here he is made entirely out of yellow bread clay, detailed with a black marker and later sealed  with clear nail polish.

Forming models out of bread clay is no more different than shaping fondants. They use the additive technique in sculpture where the material is built up and shaped to create a form. 

Each part of Jeepers was shaped separately; it should be easy to fuse them later by pushing in every part against each other while dough is still smooth and moist with glue. You can simply apply a little more glue on 

parts to be attached when needed or when dough is getting dry.

Micro Moshlings Bread Clay: Mr. Snoodle

Who would've thought Mr. Snoodle is an elephant? His snout here should have been a bit longer.

He is still cute though, don't you think?

Here he is made entirely out of a mix of bread and white glue, colored with acrylic paint. After putting spots of yellow nail polish all over him, final touches of a fine tipped marker on the eyes and purple gel pen for the eyelids were applied. He was then left to dry completely  and then sealed with clear nail polish.

Micro Moshlings Bread Clay: Kissy

Too cute to be scary, Kissy moshling is a baby ghost with a penchant for magicberry lipgloss. And here being made out of bread clay, a deep pink gel pen does a good job coating that pout.

Micro Moshlings Bread Clay: Fumble

This is Fumble moshling, a tumbling energetic sea star. Here he is made out of bread clay, some nail polish and black marker. Looks simple? Why not try and make one?

Micro Moshlings Bread Clay: Oddie

Look who just came out of the oven (so to speak), it's Oddie moshling who likes words that begin in 'O'. Of course he looks delicious, who wouldn't want a piece? But beware he's got sprinkles for blasters, anyhow he'd be so cute to hang around as key chain or charm. With some bread clay and a little patience you can diy a little Oddie and then perhaps make a twin of him to give away - an ohddie-liciously sweet friendship gift.

Micro Moshlings Bread Clay: Scamp

These characters are really cute and adorable. One fine day they sprang out of  bread clay, nail colors, gel pens and a fine tipped black marker.

Out the powdery fog, first came Scamp~ a puppy that's dressed and thinks like a frog?! or could it be that he only wants a kiss from a princess?

How to Make Bread Clay

My guess is, bread clay has been around even before I was born. It's a clever way to put stale bread to good use, easy to make and the ingredients are all but household items; it is air-dried so you won't have to use electric energy to harden it.

Bread clay is formed by modelling, it is an additive process in sculpture by which the material is shaped and built up ( as opposed to carving which is a subtractive process; that is, parts of the material are removed to form the desired image).

With bread clay, it is best to form each part separately to be assembled or glued together later.

It is important to first stabilize the consistency of the bread clay before shaping by leaving it sealed overnight, preferably inside the refrigerator.

Upon finishing the bread clay sculpture, it is highly recommended that it be sealed with clear varnish or nail polish to avoid or at least impede the development of molds; that is, after air drying it completely (about 24 hours depending on the size) as it shrinks without the moisture thereby making the layer of nail polish crack if applied before drying.

There are lots of crafty things to come up with bread clay~ fridge magnets, charms, key chains, lockets,beads, brooches,ornaments or tiny toys, as always the possibility is endless.
