I’ve been doing more polymer clay creating and thought I’d share the results. The captions of the photos tell you what you’re seeing. I’d have done more, but for all the travel planning I’ve had to do; the airlines do NOT make it easy, especially when your redepositing and then reusing frequent flyer points. Arranging flights to multiple cities rather than just round trip is a pain, too, but it certainly helps to have the internet.
I hope y’all enjoy the photos of my “stuff.” Mrs Brown didn’t think it was worth more than a quick walk-over.
Heart I made (about 4 or 5 inches long) with Semmelier pastels for coloring and colored LPC for the red and “bubble” microbeads. It’s also unfinished, lots to be added through the holes, etc..
Some lentil beads I made with another cane’s scraps.
These are the big beads (from Sculpey Super Light) that I covered with the lace-cane slices. They haven’t yet been sanded and buffed.
Mrs Brown is REALLY impressed… not.
Back covers of the little notebooks; the one on the right got cracked at the bottom while I was fiddling with it while it was baking, but I fixed it and I’m keeping it for myself anyway.
Finished notebooks. Polymer clay can be made to sort of feel and act like leather, and these are flexible and sturdy (SO FAR!) as notebooks.
Making little notebook cover; I’ve fallen in love with microbeads, but they’re little stinkers to work with.
Some hollow tube beads I made using (darn; I’ll have to look up her name an attribute it) an expert’s method of mokume gane.
Parts of lace cane I’m using to cover some large beads. You can see the progression from left to right.
Don’t know if you can really see it with all that background, but this is a necklace made using the first cane.
New one compared to first one.
