Fimo 00 (Transparent), Fimo 0 (White) Fimo 15 (Golden Yellow), Pastel Chalks - 3 shades of brown Clear box (for shaking colors) Razor blade, Ruler
|
|
|
|
Mix 00 Transparent with a minute amount of 0 White and 15 Golden Yellow. Mix well.
|
|
|
|
Roll out a 'snake' approximately 1/4" and cut into 1/4" segments.
|
|
|
|
Roll each segment into an oval or egg shape…these need not be perfect.
|
|
|
|
Place 2/3 of the egg shapes into the clear box…leaving aside 1/3.
|
|
|
|
Scrape 3 shades of chalk on to paper.
|
|
|
|
Place the scraped chalk into the clear container and shake well.
|
|
|
|
It's recommended that you use a clear box so that you can determine if you've shaken it enough, or if you need to add more chalk.

In order to 'peel' the potato, hold the razor blade steady and move the potato. You have better control this way.
|
|
|
|
Note that you will have a bit of the white of the potato showing on the opposite side, just as you would in real life.
|
|
|
|
Place the potatoes on parchment paper including the uncoloured potatoes and any peelings. Put in oven 260 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes.
A suggestion for a scene is to have a cutting board near a sink, or on the counter or table with potatoes in the process of being peeled, and some in the pot already peeled. Also, potatoes can be placed around a roast, or on a dinner plate or bowl. There are many uses …including placing the peels on newspaper, getting ready to wrap them for the garbage, or loosely in a pot, ready for the compost pile. You are limited only by your imagination! Enjoy!
