To conclude my last project post, here is a picture of my completed SpongeBob decoration for my fish tank. I did paint the sand, but the colour dried to be basically the same as the original clay colour. I am going to buy the dishwasher safe Mod Podge and add a few more details before I call it completely done.

For my 6th clay creation, I wanted to try something more difficult than I have previously, while practicing working with clay free handed. I have been wanting a new incense burner, so why not make my own!

As my learning resource this week, I used ChatGPT. I found ChatGPT to be an alright learning resource. I like that it breaks down your steps into a numbered list, as well as goes into good details with how to. I don’t know if someone that has never used air dry clay before could follow the steps without looking up a supplementary video, but I am a visual learner so maybe that is just me! With this project I didn’t need to look up a video, but I’m sure there are lots on YouTube.

To switch it up for this learning blog post, I made a short time-lapse video of me creating this incense burner, please enjoy! YouTube Video

I used CapCut to stitch the videos together and add the music. It is free to use with lots of different options for adding text, filters, and music to your videos. And as an added bonus, there are no annoying ads to watch in between each step of editing. There is also a premium version, but the free one has to much to choose from I don’t see why you would need to upgrade!

Thanks for reading!
