Polymer Clay Journey: Lessons Learned - Bacon, Corn Flakes or Leaves? You Decide.

 Bacon, Corn Flakes or Leaves !

Keeping with the autumn theme, I had a great idea.... I cut out and hand textured some small leaves with my craft knife. Thought the clay mix of translucent with alcohol ink, would look really cool if I made varying shapes and baked them on a jar. As well, coating the surface partially with a golden mica powder.

Dimension!
To make sure they would  be interesting, I carefully lifted and shaped each leaf, giving it a more realistic texture.
Then I had the "brilliant idea of pushing on some clear embossing powder. Well, doing it after texturing and positioning them on the jar, was probably the mistake that made my leaves like corn flakes. They are too bumpy and icky looking!

Take a look and see  how dastardly they turned out. But that is how we learn. If we don't experiment, we won't know what works and what doesn't.

Thanks for stopping by.
