Remember I told you about my disaster a few posts ago? Well I thought I would show you just a few of the items that had to be binned.
I bought this charm ages ago and found it in my stash so took a mould from it and created some pendants from it by adding a back disc.
Here are some more I made in their naked state!
The top left Egyptian I created from part of a brass hollow disc just using a piece of the head, and mounting it on a texturised piece of polymer clay. The daisies were mounted on texturised clay too. The little bird I had painted yellow and turned it onto a canary - I was sad to see that go. There is a Welsh Lion / Griffin? which I moulded from a very old metal button - think it might be military, I found it in my button box. The Japanese symbol started life as a foam stamp and I stamped into clay, baked then took a mould from - and mounted - that was so fiddly and I dare not tell you how long it took me to achieve that - because the parts just kept falling off or bending etc. I won't be doing that one again. But I'll probably have another go at the others. There are a few of the flower ones in the previous post - but they are rejects. They had patina spilled over them, and I tried to wipe it off but wiped off the paint too in the process.
At least you know that I haven't been idle!

Oh Lottie I really do feel your pain, all that work and they looked so gorgeous even in their naked form.
ReplyDeleteI need to have some lessons from you on making moulds.
How are your keyboard lessons doing?

these are wonderful....sometimes when I am frustrated by making something I have to put it away for a while before I can see the beauty instead of the frustration!
