What will we make the neck of the Swan from? Bend the rod in the shape of a two with your hands. Heat the lower end of the rod and insert it through the lid inside. Use a cutter to cut off the upper edge of the bottle. Fix the rod with small stones and cover them with a small amount of rotgips. Then fill the bottle with construction sand, having previously slightly widened its sides to give it roundness. The sand should play the role of a counterweight in the process of making the sculpture of our swan.

For better quality work, it is necessary to lebanon mobile database the work area with polyethylene film. Then put our bottle on it and mix in a little rotgips. Advice - do not make the solution in reserve, it sets very quickly and further work with it is impossible!

Mix the solution to the state of thick dough and apply to the bottom, outside our base. We install the workpiece on the prepared solution and level it with a spatula, periodically dipping the spatula in water, this makes the work much easier and more efficient!..

Now there will be a very important stage - forming the shape of the wing. To do this, wet your hands and taking a little solution, carefully stick it to the outside of the wing. With the other hand, insure the process from the inside of the wing. Do not worry that something may go wrong. We will eliminate all defects and flaws in the next steps ...
