A Sneak Peak Just before I look into how to rearrange my new metal paint palettes. Definitely, not use to these kinds of palettes after decades of Acrylic painting palettes!
Yesterday, I shared a new post with video about metal leafing, click here to see. And I said I was making a post with video tutorial about ways to incorporate metal leafing into or onto polymer clay.
Below is the video. It is meant to offer some ideas and inspire you to give metal leaf a try while using polymer clay.
Childhood Art Making Memory... Sgraffito is one of the techniques I will be talking about. It is about scratching an image into the surface, revealing what is underneath. In fact, it was my dear Dad who first taught me scratch art (that is what we called it back then,). I suggest trying this method. We would cover a sheet of paper with a variety of colours using crayons. Then, using a heavy black oil pastel or a crayon that can coat the colours well. Then taking a metal scratching tool, like an eyeglass screw driver, start removing the black layer. That will reveal the colour underneath. I would just make lines and designs or you can draw an objective image. Watch the video below to learn what Objective and non-objective art is.

Hi guys! Hope you are all HeArtfully Creating! I am looking forward to spring, how about you? If you have been here before, you may know how much I love making tube beads with polymer clay. In fact, I got so hooked on them, I compiled quite a collection that kept me busy creating the beads instead of turning them into actual pieces of jewellery. These days, I have obsessed with making window clingies. Does that happen to you? Do you discover new art making techniques or supplies and then that is all you can focus on until your next artistic discovery? That even happens to me with food choices as well. Eating a certain dish over and over until I can't look at it again! Keeps life interesting (Guess it depends on your perspective.) Well, I want to share a short video of a new necklace that I did make as a result of my tube bead obsession. To watch it is right here below this:
This video was created for my A Bergie Creation Shop blog, so sorry, no Howard :o( Just thought it would be nice to show you how beautiful your creations can be when you add them to handmade jewellery pieces! Then maybe you will be inspired to pick up some of your collected pieces and place
them in a handmade piece of wearable art or something like that. Unless you create your beads or pendants and use them as you make them. There are artists out there who don't want to accumulate pieces. Whereas some are like me, build up my collection so I then can get reating jewellery. Question for you today is? Are you a A) Use as you create them artist? OR B) A Make them and accumulate them artist? HeArtfully Creating, Anita Subscribe! Like and Share!!
