3 weeks! gee whiz. I’ve been making plenty of things but nothing has made it to the blog. This week I’ve got a three panel geometric piece (to make up for my lack of posts previous). Each is 3x3” and I used Sculpey Premo polymer clay and bake and bond glue to attach the pieces. Colors fade from fuschia through the spectrum to purple and shapes fade from circle to rectangle. Enjoy! See you again soon!
I was busy this week! Too many ideas! I know I said each week would be one project but it seems wrong for me to spread these out when I did them in the same week.
The first piece is an 8x8 canvas and I experimented with Liquitex Modeling Paste, an almost plaster-like paste that I mixed with some phthalocyanine green to make a minty color. Then I added the silver rings and pressed them in. The modeling paste cracks when it dries, as you’ll see more extremely in the next piece. The pink piece is 6x6 and basically the same technique but the modeling paste is on thicker and I pressed in broken pieces of turquoise. In case you were wondering I mixed deep violet with the paste to get the pink.
The necklace was made with leftover rings from the first. The pendant is made of blue goldstone and my brother gave it to me a couple years ago but the attachment ring on it tarnished and the cord broke so I made it new again!
Well I had this made two days ago but couldn’t get any decent photos. This took quite a while but I’m pretty pleased with it. I will probably seal it with some poly or resin. Gloss or matte? What do you think?
Here’s what I used,
16x20 old cabinet door for the base
8.5x11 Birch & Cherry thick wood veneer papers by Creative Imaginations
EktaColor Retouching Liquids Gray and Basic Violet (no longer available, ordered online for hand coloring photos)
Elmers Rubber Cement (the wood did start curling up I didn’t find the perfect glue for this at all)
Liquid Fusion Urethane Glue (took FOREVER to set)
Thanks for looking! Let me know what you think!
