Can anyone make a clay dolphin?

[katymac]

And explain it to me (or do me a link?)

It's for my DD's birthday cake

Arr - go on - you know you want to

Well, I found this dolphin which probably isn't a great deal of use but you can see the shape of the dolphin.

And I also found this which is so bad it just cracked me up

Thanks I'm getting there....just a bit more help and dd will be happy (ish)

mm the second one is so bad it is great!

Looks like something I'd do!

Isn't it, mb? It's not that it's bad - that's fair enough, not everyone is craftily gifted - it's that they put instructions on the worldwideweb so other people can make one too! Pmsl

Can I get real instructions from anywhere?

I was actualy sad enough to google for just that thing, but couldn't find one!

I couldn't find you any on google, katy - sorry.

mm, how sad are we????

If anyone told me I'd be spending mt Sunday evening googling for instructions to make a dophin for someone else

Find a flat image of a dolphin, roll out your clay and cut it out. Repeat for however many dolphins you need. Stick on white cake and ice over in blue waves so it looks like a flat picture of dolphin's leaping. Some need only be tails and some need only be the top half.

Soupdragon you are the ultimate genius - that's just what I need

like this

Am rather fond of this one though

Now you're being silly

All done & I managed a picture
