I'm glad you're coming out of your slump - that's always a tough thing.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15635821514688061080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4721814768699082001.post-29357634126591628932010-09-30T13:31:08.156-07:002010-09-30T13:31:08.156-07:00I love the faux ceramic look that can be achieved ...I love the faux ceramic look that can be achieved with polymer clay, and may try to use this for the borders of a small plaque I was planning to make with other materials. (Will also be doing some image transfers and don't know if the two techniques will be compatible in one piece.) In any event, thanks for the reminder of this wonderfully effective faux-ery, and if I do end up utilizing it in the next few weeks I'll be sure to send you pictures!waterbabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12448077735321273495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4721814768699082001.post-34466686400588282532010-09-12T13:36:32.450-07:002010-09-12T13:36:32.450-07:00Hi Liz!

One trick I did for the paper part is I actually soaked the whole thing in a bowl of water with a little tiny drop of dish soap. I used a combination of the spray bottle and the soaking to really get every fiber out. I used my ring finger to make very light and small circular motions. Sometimes I would only get one tiny piece of fiber before I felt I needed to re-wet. There is a very thin line between hard enough to get the fibers off and light enough to not smudge. I literally ruined 3 blocks of clay trying to get it right!Tinfoil Halohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04657101798364139568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4721814768699082001.post-40054896508089563952010-09-12T10:34:47.469-07:002010-09-12T10:34:47.469-07:00I just sentyou an e mail about my big boo boo with...I just sentyou an e mail about my big boo boo with baking the image.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15208417612434427251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4721814768699082001.post-56539539785538444972010-09-12T09:37:16.419-07:002010-09-12T09:37:16.419-07:00This is the first time it actually worked for me. ...This is the first time it actually worked for me.

I find this tutorial here gives better results for the technique: http://www.polymerclaycentral.com/cyclopedia/4colormg.html Plus making your layers fairly thin helps, too, but you had figured that out already. <br /><br />Nice blog. I think I might join you for a couple of these tutorials some time when I'm not on family vacation :)DKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07467528935667503979noreply@blogger.com
