[Nfb-krafters-korner] Realistic object drawings.

Fri May 13 04:04:09 UTC 2016

I love the versatility of cookie cutters. I even use them to cut out basic shapes when I need them for my ceramic stuff.
Maybe if the outer edge was somehow taped down to the surface that needs to be drawn on, it might be easier to trace the shape of the cookie-cutter for use in a picture. I have another suggestion, but I myself have never tried it out. What if you take some oven baked clay, roll out a slab, and use a cookie cutter to cut out the shape? Then you could take the outline that was cut and use it as a template for future drawings, and it may be easier to hold in place with one hand while you draw with the other. :-)
