Making Votive Offerings III - Seed Bombs
Seed Bombs
I used left over seed pulp from the seed papers. It added unnecesary wetness to the balls, so it’s not ideal - but was a good use of the pulp.
It took a bit of work to get these so they didn’t have cracks - just have water on hand to smooth them out. Our hands absorb the water in the clay so the self-set clay dries out quickly. How neat to sculpt these so they become an offering of art to the Universe. That’s an idea for next time.
Leave them out to dry - they feel less cold, more room temperature when they’re dry.
Throw these balls anywhere you want to spread flowers or veg and they will dissolve with their own power pack of nutrients to get them started.
I started out with 9 of these to dry, but now I’m down to 7. I think the cats have been knocking them off the table and tossing them around the house… but I can’t find them. :D
