What a forgiving medium! It can be very intense to work with and there is always 'just a little more' that can be added/removed/polished/tweaked with... but the results... oh my. For a person with no limitations, using our hands to shape, roll, attach and manupulate the clay is not difficult. For those of us who have a hard time using our hands... wellllll that is why I started by saying it is a forgiving medium. I have created pieces usable in different applications, such as home decor such as picture frames or custom jewelry, and beyond those, cork coverings, imitation rocks... it just works out well.
Polymer clay quilt
This a a fun one! the simple and traditional Tumbling Blocks quilting pattern offers an excellent reward when polymer clay is used. Each color was cut out from a sheet; a little perfect pearls on the white clay gives the shimmer of silk, an embedded pattern on the black one makes it stand out and glitter on the red one, was the perfect combination. After baking the individually cut segments, I buffed each and then assembled the quilt on an 8x8 piece of glass. I ran a bead of liquid polymer clay and created a seamless block.
