Summer... country house... and, of course, black currant in the garden! Such beautiful and delicious berries you can't help modelling!

Get down to business! Take:

1) the main stack;

2) a stack with balls (smallest);

3) nail scissors;

4) clay (I use Thai clay only);

5) leaf mold but better take a live leaf from the bush;

6) latex or PVA glue;

7) wire 26;

8) round-nose pliers;

9) tape;

10) paint thinner for oil paints;

11) oil paints: Herbal, Medium Yellow (any yellow), Carmine or Madder Lake Red, Mars Black (or any black), Titanium White, any blue;

12) brushes.

Not in the picture, but also useful:

13) tweezers;

14) brown fluffy powder.

First, make blanks for berries:

Make polymer clay any colour you need by adding oil paints and kneading in a piece of film:

Make leaves:

Apply a slightly convex shape.

Add twigs:

Move on to berries:

Make the colour you need for the tails:

Let the berries dry and start shading them:

To make the berries shine, covered them with latex glue:

Collect the berries and leaves in a twig.

You can compare the clay and live twigs :)
