The Optical Pyramid - Version 2
It’s time to clay like an Egyptian! Let’s make an optical pyramid.
Yes, this is version 2. I debated about uploading both because one seemed so much simpler. What I forgot is that as I use Kato - cutting blocks into shapes is quite easy. A very soft clay would be more difficult so I would say Version 2 is ideal for stiff clays that are easy to cleanly slice into.
We’ll also correct some flaws, yup. And, put together a Tumbling Blocks cane, too.
Tools and Materials:
clay: to make this pyramid cane, you’ll need:
2 - 2 ounce packages yellow
1 - white
1 -brown
1 -orange
1 -black

water bottle
