There’s just something about creating a beautiful thing out of scraps that fascinates me. When I was quilting scrap quilts<\/a> were always my favorite.<\/p>\n

I also adore these found object sculptures<\/a> that people create. And making wonderful things with scraps of polymer clay is no exception. As always it’s all the possibilities that are enchanting.<\/p>\n

In today’s video I show how to use scraps of clay to make a pattern that can be used as a veneer for anything you like. I like using patterns like this as the backgrounds and bases for projects.<\/p>\n

Like I show in top photo and in the video you can use it to cover something like a box or an Altoid’s tin. You could make a piece of jewelry, like the ring I show. On both the tin and the ring I plan to go back and add sculptural elements, perhaps flowers or a dragon would be fun.<\/p>\n

Just keep in mind that the more you handle and the more you stretch out this pattern the more fine and less apparent it becomes. Which can also be a nice look.<\/p>\n
