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.

NEW! HeArtfully Creating's PRACTICAL POLYMER PROJECT: Trinket or Tea Light Candle Holders

Here is a sick video with a couple of ideas and tips about making tea light candle or trinket holders out of polymer clay. These were made as gifts, so I learned as I went and hope there is something inspiring here to encourage anyone out here who is working with or wants to work with polymer clay.

Using translucent clay tinted with alcohol inks, glitter and micah powder, makes the end result beautiful. See the glow in the photos as the candle light shines through. 

Not into candles? These also make great trinket or ring holders! A fun way to make a beautiful decoration for your own home or someone you love!
