This picture is a good example of how important the right materials are.  I managed to salvage it to a certain degree but the picture frame did not withstand even the low baking temperature for a short period of time.  I suspected this would happen but gave it a try anyway.  As the frame warped in the oven, there was some breakage of some flowers and leaves.   In the future I will only use wood glass and possibly metal for applying clay.

Stella and Sleeman part 2

I decided to try a mosaic style picture this time in combination with the blended colours.   I was also running low in colours available and would have preferred a different colour combination, but overall I am quite happy with it.  Thinking about doing some other mosaic style pictures in the future

I used the same process for this picture as I did for the Mystic flowers part 1.   I love Christmas time.  These pictures make great gifts!

Mystic Flowers

Materials: Premo sculpey, wood frame with glass center, metalic glaze, sculpey super glue (this came in very handy as it really made binding the clay to the wood so much easier. Just don't get it on your hands)

 

This was really fun to make, it entailed blending the colours together via pasta roller.  The sculpey super glue added greatly to the overall quality of this picure as I could bind the flowers and leaves on the picture without having to press them down.  This maintains the groves in the leaves and the original shape of the objects.  Important to note that the glue will stick to your skin just as well as it will the clay.  I was not able to get it off afterwards.

Vase with dancing woman

For this vase I used sculpey III and a glass vase.  The pictures were done using cane work.  The sculpey III tends to crack when baked onto other surfaces so I’ve changed to premo sculpey for this type of work.

Mini Dick

I made this miniature of my dad for his birthday.  It turned out great!!  I used premo sculpey, tinfoil and metal wire.  This was soo much fun.
