\"Ancient<\/a>

Ancient Mystery I<\/p><\/div>\n

Here’s how this started! I was going to shoot a video to share about all the items I found while cleaning that I can use with my clay work.<\/p>\n

But as always, I had to clean up my clay space before I could begin. There sat slices of canes that I used in my (not finished yet)\u00a0 Polymer Clay Collage Project<\/a>…. you’ll see a line of red squares across the bottom. Some were slices that I messed up and then there was this small little piece of cane left.<\/p>\n

If you have been following this blog at all, you know me well enough to know that I do not like to make scrap clay. So, I layered the messed up slices with a layer of black #7 on the pasta machine. Then I sliced the remaining cane and added those slices with the\u00a0 black layers in\u00a0 between. Ending up with a new cane.<\/p>\n

Why I didn’t start filming this for you, I don’t know, except that I didn’t know that it was going to come out this cool.<\/p>\n

I sliced this cane into thin slices and added them to a sheet of black. Then placed the whole thing on my bracelet. It looks pretty good, I liked it anyway.<\/p>\n

Then I had just a couple of slices left of this scrap cane (and I’m laughing here)! I didn’t want to scrap the rest of the cane I didn’t use because I liked it.<\/p>\n

So I decide to play with what I had left. this next bracelet was the result and I like it way better than the first one.<\/p>\n

\"Ancient<\/a>

Ancient Mystery II<\/p><\/div>\n

I laid the left over slices out on a skinny strip of black and ran it through the pasta machine. It was ragged along the edges and I kind of liked that, so I put it on a layer of ecru clay and covered the bracelet form, added dots and there it was.<\/p>\n

It was interesting and fun to experiment and the best part is I made something out of clay that was going to become a gray blob.<\/p>\n

But..I still haven’t made the video with the found objects to use with clay. It will\u00a0 have to wait now, I have a special request for more girl bracelets in my Etsy shop<\/a>, so I better get moving.<\/p>\n

I’ve listed the other two bracelets there<\/a>, so cross your fingers that summer sales will happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
