How to Make a Hand Shadow Swan
Requires two handsswan
Instructions
- Start with the duck base: Form the one-handed duck first, with the rounded eye bump, beak opening, and tail.
- Raise the spare hand as the neck: Lift your free hand behind the duck and point it upward so it reads as a longer swan neck.
- Keep the neck narrow and upright: Let that second hand stay slim and vertical so the silhouette looks more elegant than the duck version.
- Bob the shape through the water: Wiggle the extra hand gently while the duck base stays steady, so the swan seems to glide and float.
