Making Cartouches and Mummified Cats

We painted hieroglyphics.  To make hieroglyphics we had to get some clay and mould our name into it.  We let it dry and then painted with white and let it dry.  Then we painted with gold and then colour in the sides of the carving.  Then did the black lines and let it dry.

To make our cats we used a stick of paper and put a whole heap of newspaper scrunched up.  We wrapped it around and put plaster of paris on it.  We smoother it over and put PVA glue and fabric all over it (you can do a pattern).  You then let it dry and then make a mask out of the clay. You let this dry and then you dry brush with lots of layers of gold and bronze.  You need colours like blue, green an purple.  You can put black lines on the face, where you have carved in with a paperclip.
