Make Small Miniature Leeks Together With Me

Hello everyone and welcome to my channel. Today I'm going to make leeks and for that I am using a opaque white, a light green and a green color clay. And the light green and the green color I mix a tiny bit of both into a different green. So I actually have three greens. Then I go from the lightest color to the darkest color I place them together and then I am going to roll that in my pasta machine and I rolled this in the wrong direction so I got a long piece I want a thin strip of this but long in the lines anyway I am putting it through my pasta machine again and to make the transition from white to green go a little better and from green to more green better and then so on so that it looks a little more uniform and I am squeezing it together here and there to make sure it is not getting too wide for me. When I'm happy with the transition of the colors I am making sure I have it lying really nice and flat here and then I'm just making a nice flat edge and yes the green is going a little crooked here but that's all fine. Now I'm using my x-acto knife and I am cutting from where the white ends and out and I'm doing that five six times and then I'm carefully rolling the clay around itself and that's actually all there is for making leeks. This is a a really, really simple craft. Then I'm just making sure I have all the leaves divided. I missed one here. Cut the rest off and there is one of my leaks. And now I just do this until I don't have any more clay on my work surface. I am placing all my leaks onto a piece of ceramic vat and I'm doing that because then I won't have that flat side on one side of these leaks. They will be nice and round all the way around. If you don't have this ceramic vat you might get a piece of that from a ceramic person near you or you can use a piece of a hand towel, a paper hand towel just fold it a few times and place your creation on top of that if you want more leaks than you can get of this one potion here then you are just going back starting over using your white and your green clay putting that through the pasta machine and you are happy place it on your work surface and go ahead cut these leaves parts and then roll it together It's really that simple. After everything has cooled down, I am going to take some of my washi tape. I have this cool vintage washi tape that has a tiny bit of text on it, and I am going to cut pieces of this tape. I just have to get it open first. Sometimes these can be so hard to open up. Then I'm going to cut a strip of this and from that strip I am cutting smaller strips here just like this. I placed my strip of tape here on the roll itself. Then I took three leeks, placed them together and I wrapped this tape around them, my washi tape. And there I have a bundle of leeks. That's how we get them in Denmark so that's how I'm doing it. If you get them different by you then maybe do it different. You can also leave them single if you want that so don't put any tape around it but that's all up to you.
