Tutorial:
1 Clean your hands and working surface from dust, using wet wipes. Knead a piece of red polymer clay Cernit Translucent, 474.
2 Form the clay int sausage shape and cut off two equal pieces. Form them into droplets that will be our raspberries
5 Attach the balls to the base of the strawberry in a spiral. Try not to press too hard, so the shape would stay even.
6 Using a needle create a small incision on each ball.
7 Place the berries on the sponge and let them bake for 15 minutes at 130C. After baking the clay will turn to more crimson shade.
8 While the berries are baking and cooling down, mix green and brown polymer clay, to get a nice grass color.
9 Insert a small piece of green clay into the silicone mold. To get the leaf out from the mold you can freeze it within the mold for 5 minutes.
10 We will need around 6-10 leaves for 2 raspberries.
11 Apply liquid polymer clay to the base of the berry. It will harden and become translucent after baking.
12 Attach the leaves to the liquid polymer clay in a circle.
