Terra Cotta Butterfly

Yes, I know I didn't post a butterfly yesterday. Unfortunately, it was a really bad day and I forgot until this morning. I'm back on track today, maybe I'll just add another at the end!

I bought this clay a few weeks ago but I've been waiting for my oven to be put in so I could bake it. Clay is so much fun. The kneading process is great exercise for your hands and you can just start over if you want. It's so much more forgive than watercolor or markers. Megan came up with the suggestion of putting the butterfly on something and I read that you can use aluminum foil to give it height. I bent the wings over some foil, baked it and then slid out the foil.
