Since early May I’ve been participating in Ways to Wow, a polymer clay art class over at Voila. This past week I’ve been working hard on prototyping my piece. In the upper middle left you see one of the color tools I was working on last week.
This little fish pond on the bottom right is my first prototype.
I experimented with a few different colors for the fish, trying to figure out which is most effective.
This was the second fairy I made and am not thrilled with the results. The first fairy was so bad she ended up as a squished pile of scrap clay. 🙁 Next I’m gonna try a little dragon instead. I can picture him peering into the pond, might be kinda cute.
This is my second “pond” filled with resin – way too much resin I’m thinking. It probably won’t cure until next week, lol. But that’s what prototyping is all about, eh? Making mistakes and learning new things. Hopefully in the end it will all come together well. 🙂
Whatever you are creating, may you enjoy the process.
Happy creating and Happy Woyww!
your clay work is AMAZING. Love the fish in the pond. Happy crafting #3
I love that fish pond. It looks SO realistic with the resin. And your clay sculpting is over the top. It’s all wonderful.
Happy WOYWW from # 2.
Your polymer clay work is really fantastic and that pond setup, truly amazing, It will be interesting to see how long the resin does take to set. I have never seen that brand of resin before and couldn’t read the name properly, it must be good if you are using it. Thanks for sharing and look forward to hearing how long the resin takes to set.
Happy WOYWW

Hi Eliza, The resin brand is Castin’ Craft. I don’t know how good it is as this is my first time using it. I’ll let you know. 🙂
Your pond is so amazing and that is alot of resin in there let us know how long it took to dry and your desk has so much to look at with all those little clay pieces to look at Happy WOYWW hugs Nikki 5
Hi Nikki,
So far it’s been about 20 hours and the outsides are still tacky, but it seems to be set up.
Your clay fish are gorgeous! i’ve never worked with clay and am sure I wouldn’t get such great results (not without a lot of frustration first!) Helen 23
love your creations! esp. the lil fishy… glad he’s got such a lovely pond to swim in 🙂
happy WOYWW and have a great week 🙂

Well, these look pretty good to me! At first I thought your fairy might be a mermaid – how about creating one of those to sit by the pond! I like the effect of the resin! Really looking forward to seeing what you create next week! Happy WOYWW. Julie Ann xx #42
What a brilliant idea, a mermaid! Why didn’t I think of that? Thanks!
WOW! Love the clay figures. It’s something I’ve always wanted to learn how to do. Just wish there were workshops locally. Hugs. Pam#36
That looks like fun!!
Now that looks like fun! Love your pond and cute little goldfish! Great work with the fairy too!

I am fascinated by your lovely creations with this colorful clay. Creative minds are amazing to peek in on and love the places where all this creativity takes form.
Wow all your clay pieces look fabulous. I particularly love the look of the fish in your resin pond. Hope it drys quickly for you. Have a great week! Danie #62
I love your work. I just may have to check out what it is you are participating in to get myself motivated to do more with Polymor Clay. Kim 112
It’s a great class, Kim, a lot of mental work, but very helpful.
Love the fish pond! Can just imagine a cute little dragon peering in 🙂
Happy woyww
