Friday, October 2, 2009

Here's another pin-to-be, this one with a polymer clay head. Still waiting for the pinbacks I ordered.

Gail V said...: Thanks, MA. It's my design.; October 2, 2009 at 8:26 PM
Dolores said...: I do like your pin. Did you paint her face or how did you get the colours?; October 2, 2009 at 8:47 PM
Gail V said...: Yep, I painted it with acrylics. I used white Sculpy clay and then I painted a base coat of a sienna brown followed by a coat of metallic copper. Then I painted it with a tealish color and wiped most of it off so it just stayed in the cracks and crevices. Then coated with glossy polyacrylic sealer.; October 2, 2009 at 10:20 PM
Dolores said...: Gosh, that sounds like an awful lot of work for one miniature face. Do you do more than one at a time?; October 3, 2009 at 7:53 PM
Gail V said...: I don't make a lot of clay faces, so I usually do one at a time. The entire painting process takes maybe 10 minutes, because the acrylics dry so fast (and I hurry it along in the microwave). Making the clay face takes me a little longer, but still not long.; October 3, 2009 at 9:13 PM

J said...: After reading all the comments I think it's fair to say that you make great faces. I bet you could sell them.; October 7, 2009 at 8:00 PM
