Here’s another idea if you’re interested in using chalks on clay. Dana from Solafar had an interesting blog post on weathering with pastels. He applies powdered pastels to baked clay, then seals it for a very nice effect.
I’ve used the hard chalk pastels that [...]
For the past couple years, our guild has done a one inch tile challenge, something like Artists Trading Cards. Each of us makes 2 one inch polymer clay tiles, using any technique we like. (We also tend to trade tiles with other artists at our clay retreat but that’s optional)
The tiles are used as [...]
These are the pieces from Kathleen Dustin’s class. Click on the image to see the full view.
The carving at the bottom left is on the back of the second piece. I wanted to play around with it and the plain black background seemed to need something. If I can make my pieces reversible, it’s [...]
I took a wonderful workshop with Kathleen Dustin this past weekend on her layered translucent techniques.
I was too busy to take many pictures, but here’s what my workspace looked like at the end of the first day. Why is it that however big a space I have, I always end up [...]
I did take a few in-progress photos while I was making stuff for the Bead Bazaar and I thought I’d start with this little guy.
The original was sculpted in relief on a smooth ceramic tile and I made a mold of it so I [...]
Thought I’d post a few more photos of the new improved SCPCG display. Last year it was all grey, this year we had black risers, and black trays. Each artist got one tray. I think it worked really well. The black looked elegant and unified the different styles.
We have three [...]
I’ll be at the Bead Bazaar this weekend, along with a number of others from the Southern Connecticut Polymer Clay Guild. We’ll have a great selection of polymer clay beads and jewelry from over 15 different artists.
I’ll be working the table first thing on Saturday morning. If you’re in the area, stop by. It’s [...]
This is a relief sculpture I did a few months ago. It’s currently part of our guild’s (Southern Connecticut Polymer Clay Guild) traveling exhibit.
I sculpted it in black Premo clay on a 6″x6″ ceramic tile which I removed after baking. I left this one a little rough because [...]
Haven’t been blogging as much as I meant to, but I have been busy. Here’s one of the projects I finished.
I used my brand new Knew saw to cut the birdhouse shape from 24g copper sheet, including the interior hole which the bird peeks out of. Using metal stamps and hammers is fun – [...]
I made a number of samples for my button workshop. I knew a plain polymer clay button would survive being washed and dried, but I wasn’t sure about more delicate techniques.
The top row is a similar button that hasn’t been washed. The bottom row is after one wash and dry cycle with an ordinary [...]
