Still need to polish some of these but it takes quite a while and I don't have all the grades of sandpaper I need. Ah well!
Spent today re-baking these pieces as they needed to be stronger so it meant a trip to the local tile centre for some more tiles to bake on. I needed a large one for the strips as they were too big for the tiles I normally use.
Can't remember what these black and white ones are called - similar to Chinese Eggshell work. These two need sanding to within an inch of their life. The heart in the front was one I did last year and never got around to baking. Shows how well polymer clay holds up doesn't it.
These are my Spongia beads made with Natalia. The back one is a bracelet and the one to the right is a pin with a couple of small beads on at the base of the big bead. Think that bracelet will be the first thing I repeat but in a different colourway. We had to use what colours we were given but I am longing to make one in a different colour.
The other two are pendants just using up the clay that was left over from my cane.
These four strips are from the class with Lindly - the two dark ones from the dark piece we did and the two light ones from the light piece. I have cut them out as sheets like this because they will lace together and have magnetic strips inside so becoming blade keepers. I just wanted to save as much as I could to remind me what it looked like. Making these was great fun.
Pendants from left overs as above
Pendants from the light leftovers
These are my favourites but next time I will put more circles on and maybe some other shapes as well. We just didn't have the time in class but it was all about getting the technique done. Maybe the sheets will be the first things I do - mmmm.....
Now to tidy up a bit in my craft room as I have some birthday cards to make for Saturday when I go to Vicky Stampers. Doesn't mean the clay will not be out for a while - I am hooked!
