Banana Split

This an original American-style banana split made entirely out of clay, even the bowl holding the icecream, whipped cream, blueberries, and bananas are handmade by me out of clay!

This is to create an ice cream scoop so that you can later flatten the bottom. After you make a ball, gently press the ball onto the table so that it is flat and can stand upright. Repeat this 3 times.

Start adding light lines onto your 3 clay balls. You can do this by using a needle tool or an unused toothbrush for additional texture.

To create a banana shape, you simply just roll the clay and then stretch it out and bend the ends. Or if that seems like too much work, use a mold!

Blueberries aren't the only topping you can make...you can choose sprinkles, chocolate chips, nuts, etc. Personally, I chose blueberries to add a pop of color. This can be achieved by rounding clay into small balls and creating small punctures on the top with a needle tool.

This step is optional, as you could just use a bowl you have in your house, but I made my bowl. You can do this by using a random bowl in your house as a mold for your clay. After you let the clay dry on the mold, peel it off gently.

Now all you have to do is arrange it in a bowl! YAY! You're done with making it!

Now just put it in the kiln and wait! After it's done, enjoy glazing it to however you desire!
