Garland
Something new. This garland is made with Kato
Polyclay, Repel Gel and colored liquid clay. The colored liquid is a
product that I'm testing and isn't available to the public as of
September 2006. The stencils came from Michaels craft store and was
about $1for each pack of 6. (They are made of a thin black plastic that
doesn't react with the clay and can be run through the pasta machine
with the clay (carefully) The edges are torn and rough by design. |
When you mix the Repel Gel with liquid clay, it
bubbles up. My experiments have shown different textures that you can
get by doing this. If you mix a lot of RG directly into the liquid, you
get a frothy look. If you add just a bit, you get bubbly texture. If you
mix just a bit into an equal part of liquid, paint it on, then cover
with liquid mixed with a tiny bit of RG, you get a nifty raised, more
uniform texture. Click on the spider below to see some of the texture. |

First Skull
My first attempt to sculpt a miniature
skull. Thank you to Spooky T for the lesson. He is in no way responsible
for my talent or lack thereof. Shown approximately real size. Made with
foil core, covered with Sculpey Ultra Light clay, cured, then
covered in my own mixture of Fimo Flesh, Kato white and Kato
translucent. I finally got to use some of those teensy tools I've been
collecting. |
