Julie was just talking about you the other day:) <br /><br />We used a low fire talc-free white clay body but I've used red clay with success on this project before. After the rattle was fired in the kiln, they painted on a layer of black tempera and wiped away the surface to bring out the texture. Then they had the choice of metallic watercolors and metallic acrylic paint (using a sponging application method, a little goes a long way). Some chose to use both. <br /><br />Hope that helps. And thank you again for stopping by my blog. How fun to meet a former NCS teacher here:) Email me if you have any questions:<br />sburton@newcityschool.orgShannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09413018681961946364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1706353476040136772.post-7368918732496931312011-04-10T14:25:35.419-05:002011-04-10T14:25:35.419-05:00Hi Shanna,

I am teaching the Keepers of the Earth theme and want to make rattles with my kids. I've made my own years ago, but I was wondering what kind of clay and glaze/paints you used. They are beautiful!<br /><br />Thanks,<br />SuzyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14001546025526795864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1706353476040136772.post-78880987869961162052011-03-15T21:03:05.891-05:002011-03-15T21:03:05.891-05:00Hello Cindy,
