 | take a small lump of clay (about the size of a walnut) and roll it between your palms to
form a smooth round ball. |
| push the ball down a little on a flat surface, just to flatten the base of the mouse. |
| form the mouse's face by gently pinching and pulling one side of the ball between your
thumb and middle finger, pulling the clay up a bit to form the ears, and forward a bit to
form the face. Be gentle; the mouse body should retain its round shape. |
| add the tail, poking the end gently into the body with the pencil point. |
| form eyes by poking shallow holes with the pencil. |
| write a note stating something you wish to accomplish before the year 2000; tie a knot
in the mouse's tail to remind you of your "resolution". |
| the note and the mouse will be kept at the hall (the mouse needs to dry!) and given back
at a later date. |
| when you get your mouse back, and you have accomplished your resolution, untie the knot. |
