Polymer clay transfer pendants...

and altered images. Some of these transfers are made from altered sculptures. The mermaid for instance is a little sculpture of which a photo was taken. I then colour the image....blue tail, pink tail, change the sky, add water etc.... I've added details that weren't there before. Some of them I solarized. Also, I'm fortunate that my friend Wayne who is a professional photographer gives me images to play with. He's flattered what I can do with them.

Polymer Clay Tiles anyone?

I'm leaning toward listing polymer clay tiles as a theme. These tiles are either stamped or done with transfers. I prefer the picture transfer method I've developed using Flecto Varathane because it gives a matte finish. Personally, I don't like the 'rubbery' transfers resulting from the liquid clays. Its not a totally perfect method mind you because if one doesn't burnish the image onto the clay completely, some parts could be missing. This is most noticeable in the cartouche transfer which has some of the edging missing. Very minute though and can easily be covered up with a frame as in the picture below. What do YOU think?

Watercolour Polymer Clay Boxes

These boxes are made from watercolour paper, then trimmed with Polymer Clay and/or beaded. The images on the inside are either my own miniature paintings that are transferred onto clay, or I use other images or interesting little charms and crystals. The boxes measure between 1 1/2 " tall to 4" and I'm in the process of trying larger "Dreambox" types.
