This is the continuation of the clay embellishments I have been making. I have to say part way through the day yesterday they became the enemy and nearly went in the bin! I painted, working the paint into all the detail. I then coloured some with Treasure Gold and on some I used my oil pastels to bring out the detail. They still didn't have the wow factor and looked more like children's fridge magnets than lush vintage treasure. Now my nails are wrecked and my hands feel like clay too.
Then I delved into a pot of copper mica powder and some magic happened...........Look......
Doing a happy dance............
Going to do some durability tests and coat with some varnish, they seem fairly tough. I feel an encrusted canvas coming on.
But first I have a wedding album to do.
