| The sea is made from a material known in the UK as "plasticine." In the U.S. it is probably known as "modelling clay." Used in schools. It is pressed into the base and is rolled into waves by a round plastic bead with a hole through it mounted on the end of a stick to form a roller. The blue paint is applied first and then the white is added whilst it is still wet so that it runs and gives a "wet" look. I make the seas, but it is my wife who paints them. |
