Artist's Comments

A closeup of the polymer clay plaque on my newest journal. I used an iridescent green glass gem and covered it in a woven net of clay and added two pretty aqua blue gems. I textured the clay by poking all sorts of things into it...:D and then painted it with a wash of burnt umber acrylic and wiped it from the raised portions. Then I added Rub-n-buff metallic to it here and there. The journal measure 5" x 7."
Sold and going to the UK! More to be listed soon here [link]

I really dig the design and the color choices. The metallic effect really adds to it too.

Do you bake the clay with the glass beads on it? I'm still a beginner at using polymer clay and I can't seem to not burn it a little every time I bake it and the glass makes me think it would be even easier to burn it clay.

exquisite!

Be careful, burning clay gives off toxic fumes! Be sure the oven is set to the right temp (you can buy a thermometer to check this, sometimes oven temps vary from the temp set). Be sure to bake it no longer than the instructions state. I sometimes lay a sheet of aluminum foil over the top of the piece I am baking and this seems to help prevent burning.
I do bake it with the glass beads on it and it doesn't cause it to burn...not to worry!

LOL I think it's because I'm not used to the electric oven that is in my apartment. After using a gas oven for all my life it's weird to use the one I have even though you would think it'd be exactly the same. >_<

Thank you! It is one of my favorites. :D
