Miniature Pizza-TUTORIAL

This is a very fun project (my favorite by far)!! I hope you enjoy making it! Let your imagination guide you!
SUPPLIES
1. Tan, white, yellow, translucent, red, brown, and green clay.
2. A variety of clay tools ex: ball-ended tool, needle tool..
3. Red acrylic paint, TLS,yellow, orange, and black chalk pastels
TUTORIAL
First, take your tan clay and instead of putting it through the pasta machine take a roller, and try to create a thin round layer of clay (the edges don't have to be even, because then it will be "authentic" looking). Take yellow and orange pastels, and color the bottome of the pizza after you texture it with crumpled aluminum foil. Then, flip it over and roll the edges of the pizza up to make the crust. Next, take TLS and mix in a very small amount of red acrylic paint to make the sauce, and after mixing it spread it all over the pizza so that no part of the middle is tan. Now take white clay and add a small peice of yellow clay, and take small peices of it and put them all over the pizza. And take your ball-ended tool and use it to put down and mix the "cheese" evenly all over the pizza, but still make sure the sauce is showing. Take a detail brush and use the black/brown pastels to make oven marks all over the crust. Now mix an equal amount of red, brown, and translucent to make the color for the pepperoni. When that's done, take small circles of the color and flatten them. Then put them randomly over the pizza and texture them with the ball-ended tool, and if you really want detail take extremely small pizzas of translucent and press them down into the pepperonis to make an authentic look. Now take landscape green and spread it all over the pizza so it will look like herbs. DONE! Now bake at the temperature on the clay package and glaze afterwards!! Use your own ideas to make other toppings that you might like! :)
