Beautiful butterfly made with coloured clay

Happy New month to everyone and the creative members of this community, I hope you all are doing just fine and I pray for good health and prosperity. Creativity is the bridge between imagination and reality, and nothing embodies this more than the art of sculpting with coloured clay, Among the many artistic expressions, working with colored clay offers a unique joy—the ability to mold life from mere lumps of material. Today, inspired by the beauty of nature I crafted a butterfly - delicate yet bold, simple yet intricate and it was made with clay, so without further ado here's how I made this clay butterfly.

Materials

• clay box
• plastic knife for cutting clay

step I

First to make a clay butterfly, first take three packets of clay of three colors: white, black, and orange.

step 2

Then I roll the three colours of clay which I have gathered into round shape.

step 3

Then I took two black colored clay blocks and make one round shape and the other one long shape. Then we give the shape of the body of the butterfly by connecting the round black clay block on the long shaped black clay block.

step 4

Here I then took black colour clay from a plastic packet and made four pieces of black colour clay and give round shape to the four pieces of black clay.

step 5

After doing that, I then folded the round shaped clay block into the shape of four butterfly wings.

step 6

Next I then attach the wings of the butterfly to the body of the butterfly and the shape of the body of the butterfly is clear.

step 7

Then I take out the size of the shape of butterfly wings and take out the orange colored clay from a plastic packet and fold it into the shape of butterfly wings and place it on the surface of the butterfly wings.

step 8

Finally, I folded white colour clay into small circles and attach it around the wings of the butterfly. Then I rolled black colour clay into thin strips and attach it to the head of the butterfly to make the antenna and I also make small round yellow clay and attach it to the head also to make the eyes.

After completing my clay butterfly below is my final result.

This butterfly, though motionless, carried an essence of life. It reminded me that beauty can be created from the simplest things, that creativity has no limits, and that with a little patience and imagination, we can bring even the most delicate dreams to life. I hope you all liked my craft and feel free to express your thoughts, have a nice day and happy New month.
