As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, it’s been a blast playing with polymer clay lately. \u00a0Although I’ve been spending a lot of time working with ideas from Christi Friesen’s books, it’s my goal to get some ideas, new techniques and all, then branch out and do my own thing.<\/p>\n

Here is some of the latest stuff to come out of my craft room. \u00a0(Click on any of the photos to see a larger version.)<\/p>\n

Isn’t this pendant the coolest?<\/p>\n

\"steampunk-flower-pendant\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The texture on the flower was done by pressing each petal into a definition stamp.<\/p>\n

\"steampunk-flower-pendant-close-up\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This one gets loads of compliments whenever I wear it. \u00a0It’s based on Christi’s “A Clockwork Orange” from her book\u00a0Steampunkery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This steampunk Christmas tree pendant is my own design.<\/p>\n

\"steampunk-christmas-tree\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I used the same stamps to create texture on the presents as I did on the flowers in yesterday’s <\/a>post. \u00a0Using less pressure results in a more subtle pattern on the clay.<\/p>\n

\"steampunk-christmas-tree-presents-close-up\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The ornaments are all manner of beads, gears and chains, wired into the clay. \u00a0I love using Christi’s idea of using heat-set rhinestones, because the heat of the oven sets the adhesive on the back. \u00a0Clever!<\/p>\n

These two fantasy birds are from\u00a0Polymer Clay and Mixed Media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"clay-fantasy-birds-both\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I can’t decide which one I like best.<\/p>\n

I call this one “Feathers.”<\/p>\n

\"clay-fantasy-bird-feathers\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And this one I call “Swirls.”<\/p>\n

\"clay-fantasy-bird-swirls-head\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s a close up of Swirls’ wing.<\/p>\n

\"clay-fantasy-bird-swirls-wing-close-up\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And a close up of Swirls’ tail.<\/p>\n

\"clay-fantasy-bird-swirls-tail-close-up\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s Feather’s tail.<\/p>\n

\"clay-fantasy-bird-feathers-tail-close-up\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now you understand the names. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I plan to list one for sale in my shop, but I don’t know which one to keep and which to sell.<\/p>\n

I’m leaning towards selling Feathers, as she’s just a bit more graceful overall.<\/p>\n

Which do you prefer?<\/p>\n

For the next project I’m thinking of completely different colors, like reds, gold & black, with a different shaped head, and I’ll have a dragon!<\/p>\n

Speaking of dragons, I just received the nicest belated Christmas gift. It will have to wait until tomorrow, though, because it’s too dark now to take a proper photo.<\/p>\n

Happy creating!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
