The blue horse is a talisman and is supposed to bring good luck all year round. Especially if it is made by yourself.
The easiest way to make such a talisman is from clay. It is best to buy special gray modeling clay for this.
It sculpts beautifully, dries and paints well. It can even be fired to make the product stronger.
To make a horse, you need to take clay, a plasticine stack or a regular knife to cut pieces from the clay.
Pour some water into a plate to wet your hands.
It is also advisable to make so-called glue for better connection of parts. To do this, dissolve a little clay in a small amount of water until creamy.
The horse is made from individual parts that are connected with clay “glue”. Let's start with the torso. Cut a small piece of clay, knead it and roll into a thick sausage.
You need to smear the surface well with your fingers so that it is smooth.
The next stage is making the neck.
A piece of clay, approximately half the size of the previous one, is also rolled into a sausage. But it should be narrower on one side.
Attach the neck to the head and lubricate the joints well.
The head is made from a small piece of clay.
It should be elongated.
You can do this, but if you want, cut the horse's mouth open, as if he is neighing. In this case, when painting, you need to outline the teeth.
After connecting all the parts, we begin making the legs.
Try to keep them all the same size.
On each leg, mark a thickening on one side - this is the hoof.
When attaching the legs to the body,
you can bend them a little or make them look like a horse is running.
Don't forget to give your horse triangular ears and a long tail.
After drying, usually at least a day, it needs to be painted.
Your symbol of the year is ready!
