Instructions:
BODY: Roll a 1" ball of Black. Shape with your fingers until it looks like the shape in the photo.

HEAD: Roll a 3/4" ball of Black and shape as shown. Use a 1/2" piece of toothpick to attach the head to the body.

FEET: Roll two 1/2" balls of Black. Flatten them to 1/4" thickness and shape into teardrops. Use the point of the toothpick to indent lines for the toes. Press feet under the body.

ARMS: Roll two 1/2" balls of Black. Shape into commas as shown. Use toothpick to make fingers. (Set aside until later)

TAIL: Roll a 3/4" ball of Black. Flatten to 1/4" thickness and shape as shown.

CLEAN HANDS before you continue with the White clay.

Shape a 3/8" ball of White to go on top of the Tail for the stripe. Use the toothpick to make fur lines in the White stripe. Roll a narrow strip of White for the stripe that goes over the Head and down his back. Make fur lines in it with the toothpick also.

Now, press the Arms onto each side of the Body. Press the Tail onto the back of the Body and curl it around like shown. Press two seed beads into the Head for the Eyes. Roll a 1/4" ball of Black and press on the Head for the NOSE. Make two tiny triangles and press on Head for EARS.

If you want your Lil’ Stinker to hold a bouquet of flowers, make a hole in one Hand to glue the flowers in after baking.

Bake your sculpture on a foil-lined baking pan for 30 minutes at 250 degrees. Do not bake hotter than 250. DO NOT use a microwave. A regular or toaster oven is fine. Let cool in oven. Remove him and glue on Flowers if desired. If you want to make a Christmas ornament- just insert a twisted piece of craft wire in his head before baking

If you had fun making Joshua's free projects, you will enjoy Joshua’s Book.
Hangin’ Around
with Noah is a beautiful, full color instructional book, written and published when Joshua was 12 years old. These are a limited edition- so when they are sold out, there will not be a second printing. Those of you who have watched Joshua grow from a 10 year old crafter into a 16 year old professional artist, won't want to miss out on his first book!
