They were allowed 4. I give time more on a person to person basis, but if you just say you "feathers" the entire bird will be covered in feathers! So from the pre drawing we know were to poke holes so that after the bird was fired the feathers could be added. It just takes a few drops of glue. Remember to have the students poke the holes in the wet clay big enough. Remind them that when the clay is fired it will shrink. When that happens by accident I just hot glue gun the feathers on for that student.Lee Darterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18313478367236916427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353578694309062949.post-51947832341876220292014-03-08T21:49:24.419-06:002014-03-08T21:49:24.419-06:00how did you get the feathers inside the bird?how did you get the feathers inside the bird?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15295311483365825401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353578694309062949.post-34123866070054396462014-02-02T13:30:27.511-06:002014-02-02T13:30:27.511-06:00painted and then tempera varnish.
