Thai Clay flower making - Part 1 ( Material needed to make thai clay flowers )

It has been a while since I have written anything for my blog . The last post was on water colours - trying to understand the medium. Very soon I will start with lessons on how to use these mediums, as a learner we face lot of challenges , on how to handle them , what are the different ways to use them to make different kinds of paintings.
