Make This Cute Dalmatian

Dalmatian Puppy
This adorable creature can be a great gift or cake topper

Would you like to make the Dalmatian dog shown in the header for Cold Porcelain Cuties?  Simple, basic shapes are used to create this cute puppy with photos every step of the way to show you how.  

Tutorial was translated to English from Porcelana Fria magazine and was written especially for cold porcelain paste. You could also try making the Dalmatian with other types of air-dry clay or make another kind of dog simply by changing the colors used.   Enjoy!

Note:   If you would like to make a slightly simpler dog, see this video demo of a little brown puppy.

Make this Cute Puppy

This video demo from sugarcraft artist Aine shows us how to make a cute little puppy.

This particular demo is using gumpaste to create figure, but the process is exactly the same for cold porcelain or air-dry clay.   Just use regular glue where she calls for edible glue.
