Description :
Who can forget the tales of Tom and Jerry and the lil one made sure that we all know that the mice love cheese. Here is a quirky take on this forever love for anything cheesy.
STEP 1 : Source the base and draw the design
- We are going to make the mouse and cheese dangler using Mouldit and corrugated sheet.
- Take the corrugated sheet, draw and cut the shape of the cheese out of it.
STEP 2 : Mix Fevicryl Mouldit
- We are going to cover the piece of the cheese cut out with Mouldit slab as well as we are going to make the Mouse out of Mouldit.
- Take Mouldit resin base and hardener, mix it thoroughly to make even dough.
STEP 3 : Mix Mouldit
- Take the dough, roll it to make a medium thin slab with rolling pin.
STEP 4 : Mould the base
- Mark and cut the slab in the shape of the cheese cut out. Cover and stick the slab on the cheese cut out using Fabric Glue and clay carving tools to create the texture.
- Let it dry.
- Pierce the holes on the cheese further to attach the beaded strand.
- Refer to the image.
STEP 5 : Typography
- Mark and cut the slab to write the typo word “ I love everything Cheesy”
- Take some clay, roll it to make the thick coil. Press the coil to make it flatten.
- Stick the coil on the slab to make the word “cheesy” using Fabric Glue.
- Pierce the holes on the slab further to attach the beaded strand and the tassels.
- Let it dry.
STEP 6 : Paint the cheese and the mice
- Paint the mice and the cheese with Acrylic Colour Burnt Sienna 01, Black 02, Chrome Yellow 03, Lemon Yellow 11 , White 27 and Neon Pink 018.
- Let it dry.
STEP 7 : Assembly
- Similarly paint the words on the slab using Acrylic Colour Burnt Sienna 01, Black 02, Chrome Yellow 03, Crimson 04, White 27 and Neon Pink 018.
- Let it dry.
- Stick the mice on the cheese as well as on the thread aesthetically using Fabric Glue. Let it dry.
- Take the wooden stick, wooden beads and cobbler thread.
- Pass the thread through the beads and attach it to the cheese cut out and the typo slab neatly.
- Attach the cobbler thread tassels towards the ends.
