I've been playing with my polymer clay and leetle letter stamps.
It started with a mammoth the Muse demanded I make and went on from there.
This one I drew on with a black Sharpie and then sealed with wax.
Means, loosely translated, "Art lasts forever, life is short."
Y'like that upside-down "e"? Yeah, I did that on purpose. Really.
For some reason, this one is screaming, "Sexual tension." Or "Britney Spears." Yikes.
I like this one. Looks vaguely like a continent.
Not too hokey?
After that, there were the letters.
And the numbers.
Alcohol inks with a sponge.
Then reeeally fine copper wire found at a thrift store.
And smash 'em a little with a hammer.
That's good, clean fun for you. Actually, my fingernails are still sorta purply-red.
See? I can make stuff. Nice things! So creative. So crafty. So clever.
I'm not sure I ever questioned your ability to make things (no, definitely not), but I do appreciate the reassurance. =D I like the first one and the alcohol ink letters! Pretty colors!
ReplyDeleteClever indeed, aren't alcohol inks amazing on metal? Your polymer clay looks more ceramic-ky. me like-ey.

Thanks! I really need to score some Renaissance wax to seal 'em; right now I'm using an acrylic spray that I'm not sure how sturdy it is. I was *going* for a ceramic-ish look on the polymer, so yay!
DeleteI love these!
ReplyDeleteYes you make some fine things ... I want some of those letter stamps now and some inks... We love our stuff
ReplyDeleteApparently you can *make* alcohol inks by mixing fabric dyes and rubbing alcohol. I haven't tried that yet, but it's supposed to work . . .
DeleteI really like the look of those clay pieces. creativity on steroids I say.
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss all this cool stuff??!
ReplyDeleteOh,yeah...I was gone from my studio all through March. ;)
LOVE the alcohol ink business...I've gotta find some of that stuff. Very cool.
