I just finished up my entry in Polymer Clay Collective’s Faux Challenge.
Click on any of the photos for a closer look.
I decided to try faux ivory this time around. The technique is fairly simple, it’s just layers of translucent, white and ecru clay.
I covered a small cardboard box with clay and textured it with a rubber stamp. Then came the fun part, sculpting a dragon for the top. She’s not perfect, but I kinda like her. 🙂
She has a slightly manic look from this angle. Huh. Not what I had planned.
After baking, antiquing with some burnt umber acrylic paint brought out the texture .
Go on over to the Polymer Clay Collective to see all the challenge entries.
Happy creating!
Oh, wow! She’s guarding her pearl! Does the box open?
Yes, and with a slightly manic expression. And, yes, the top section lifts off to open the box.
So it holds more treasures for her to guard. 😀
And that’s one thing dragons do well. That and nap all day like cats.
This amazing! Love ms. Dragon.
Thanks, Nan. 🙂
