Cold porcelain ring with orchid

It’s always a pleasure to create beauty with your own hands, surprising and delighting your loved ones with original gifts. Modeling from cold porcelain is a pleasant experience, since the material is very plastic and easy to work with. Cold porcelain can be used purchased, or you can prepare it at home. To do this you will need a mug of corn starch, a mug of PVA glue, 1 tbsp. l glycerin, 1 tbsp. l fatty baby cream. All ingredients are mixed and cooked on the stove or in the microwave, stirring occasionally until the mixture comes together. Then the mass must be kneaded well and placed in an airtight container or bag. After a few hours you can start creating.
Below is a master class on sculpting a ring in the shape of an orchid flower.
Tools materials:



A stack with balls, a simple stack, a tassel, an orchid texture mold, a base for a ring, cold porcelain in white, green and fuchsia. You will also need PVA glue to glue the parts together. Cold porcelain is painted in the desired colors with oil paints, pigments, food coloring, etc.We roll out a ball from white porcelain, form a droplet from the ball and flatten it on the palm, giving the shape of a petal using a simple stack.




Place the petal on the mold and lightly press to create the texture of an orchid.



Using a stack with a ball, we give the petal a curved shape. There should be 3 such petals.




Roll out two more balls and form them into large flower petals. Next we deal with them as with the previous ones.





We get three narrow petals and two wide ones.



Next we proceed to assembling the flower. We form a cake from green porcelain and place it on a flat surface, after applying baby cream to it.



To make the ring look more natural and richer, add leaves to the flower. We form an oblong droplet and press it with a stack, making it thinner, then with our fingers we give the sheet a curved shape. There can be one, 3, or 5 leaves, it all depends on the idea.




Apply PVA glue to the green cake with a brush and place the leaves on it.



We again apply glue to the leaves and begin to collect the flower. The first three narrow petals are placed first, then the remaining two.




Next we sculpt the center of the orchid. Since the flower is small, the middle will be a little stylized. We make two small balls, flatten them and, using a stack with a small ball, give them a curved shape. Then we roll out a thin strip, about 1 cm long, bend it in half, these will be the “antennae” of the middle.




Apply glue to the middle of the flower and arrange the parts of the middle.




It remains to mold one more small detail. We make a small droplet from green porcelain, press it in the middle with a stack and place it a little above the middle of the flower.




You can stop at this stage, since the flower is already ready.



But to make it brighter, the petals can be tinted.Tinting can be done with oil paints, eye shadows, and pigments.



After the flower has completely dried for 24 hours, you can attach it to the ring base. It is best attached with epoxy glue or Moment Crystal glue. After the glue has dried, the decoration can be worn with pleasure or made someone nice present.
