Playin' with Polymer Clay |
Robyne's Rubber Room |
Here are some of the first pins I made with polymer clay. I find Sculpey easier to work with than Fimo. The best tip I can give you is to USE AN OVEN THERMOMETER, no matter what kind of oven. You'll be surprised how far off your oven temp is. If the temperature is too high, light colors of polymer clay can "scorch", and can turn dark. |
Most of the pins to the right were colored with gel pens. Some of the pins were sealed with Future Floor Finish. The swirled heart at the upper right has been edged with tiny Beedz. The Phoenix has a rhinestone in it's eye. |
At the left is a clay-covered matchbox pendant I made for a swap. It was colored by rubbing with Pearl Ex mica powders over the clay before baking. |
At right: A card featuring simple stamped clay squares mounted on crimped cardboard and gold ribbon. This time the clay has been colored with metallic rub-on paste after baking. The crimped cardboard strip was dry-brushed with gold paint. |
The heart on the Valentine, above, was made with Granitex ploymer clay, painted with marker after baking. It is mounted on a piece of rubber shelf liner that has been cut into a heart shape and embossed with powder. |
A polymer clay tag. Bronze clay colored with Pearl Ex mica powders before baking. |
Below are three polymer pendants. These have gold and multi-colored leafing applied to the clay, then a coat of transluscent clay over top. |
Right: A black tag embossed with gold powder. Clay embellishment has been edged with multi-colored leafing, baked, then sealed with matte acrylic. |
