I have been busy over the last week or so, creating different coloured pieces of polymer clay to cut into shapes for my first piece for the NZ Art Guild exhibition. I have posted some 'in progress' photos below, as I am going away for a long weekend, so it will be a while before I can do any more work on it.

Design sketched on to MDF board, backed with a wooden frame. (The first polymer clay pieces have been laid on the design) |
 |
Balsa wood has been cut for the top and bottom pieces, as they would have been too large to fit in my oven, if I had made them out of polymer clay |
 |
The balsa wood has been sealed with diluted PVA glue and then painted with several layers of acrylic paint |
 |
Here are some of the different coloured pieces of baked polymer clay I have made for this artwork. They are 2mm (3/32") thick and will be cut into shapes to fit the design |
 |
The first cut pieces have been glued on to the board |
I will post the finished piece when it is complete.
Claire, I have not been back to your blog for a while, I bookmark rather than follow, just easier for me but I wanted to day WOW on this project, I WILL be back to see how it comes out ! Good luck and happy claying !
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comment. It has been a 'labour of love' but I am so excited, I grouted it yesterday, so it is very nearly finished.
