When I re-started my foray into using polymer clay I discovered Polymer Clay Central, a website devoted to clay enthusiasts with mucho info, I was so excited to see so much open sharing! The lampwork glass community is also such a sharing group and I was glad to see the same for this other medium.
I'm someone who sometimes needs a little guidance towards what exactly I want to make. Sitting down with all the supplies, the myriad of colors, and ideas floating around need corralled. I decided to enter their monthly challenge. I started with July, and the theme was "Summertime". Here is what I presented:
It's my first attempt at a micromosaic. The piece is about a half dollar size. It was a pain in the ass. I didn't win, but there are some really kick ass entries, check it out here.
I gave it another shot for August. The time between July and August I had purchased a couple books on making miniatures in polymer clay. If you want to see some amazing work, check out Angie Scarr and Sue Heaser. I used some of what I learned in their books, about breads and pastels, and ended up making a picnic and here it is:
I won first place! Yay! I was pleased because I figured out the potato chips on my own.
Now I get to spend my prize money at Polymer Clay Express!
