Fimo Daruma Glücksbringer - Japanese polymer mojo - Tutorial - En - Sub

Hello I am superstitious and believe in lucky charms, so I want you now to show you an Daruma-Monk. This Daruma is an classic japanese good luck charm, which goes back to an interesting anecdote and leaves wonderfully realized with polymer clay. For these lucky charm you need very little material. Besides some polymer clay colors, you need a modeling tool and a knife. For the optics I used additionally gold powder. Only one side of the Daruma face is painted. Women paint only the right, men and the left eye of the figure. If this is done, the lucky charm has to be situated at the place where you most come around. Now you have something to wish. Only when the request has been fulfilled, you paint in the other eye. Then you can burn the figure, and start all over again. I figured that this is a good New Year's idea. You can make many of these polymer clay lucky charms without a face and your guests can paint it, then they can make a wish and take the figure at home. When I was in Japan some time ago, I visited several temples. There, these figures are sold by the monks. If you breathed just as esoteric as I, you will enjoy using this Fimo lucky charm. I hope I could give you another Fimo suggestion and wish you lots of fun wishes.
