Step 1: Clay and Colors

First you need to decide what clay you are going to use. I used bakeable clay. You can also use air drying clay or modeling clay, Just be sure to follow the directions for your clay. If you don't like mixing clay colors, buy a variety of colors. The colors needed are listed below along with the clay mixing guide.

  • Light Brown(The buns) Brown > White
  • Red(tomato)
  • Yellow(cheese)
  • Green(lettuce) Yellow > Blue
  • Yellow Green(pickles) Lettuce green > Yellow
  • Black/brown(meat patty) Black > Brown

    • Marble light purple(onion rings) White > Purple /Mix Light purple with white halfway for the marble effect.

What a Colorful Burger!

This picnic is very random to me. Triple decker cheeseburger, movie candy, and TWO sodas. Truly a meal fit for a fatass. I like it.
Rob K in reply to tomtom0897Jul 11, 2009. 7:23 PM
LOL . I orderd a quadruple cheese burger from the dinning hall at the university i go to a few times last year. They give a little odd look when i ask for it.
Lettucehead (author) in reply to Rob KJul 12, 2009. 8:56 PM
GOSH! Did you finish them! :-D

Very cute, not until I saw the last picture with your kitty did I realize how tiny it is.
Lettucehead (author) in reply to ChrysNJul 12, 2009. 4:19 PM
