Fimo enameled bowls


I've been testing a variety of techniques for faux enameling and glazing, and I created various molds for bowls to do so. This is my favorite design, and my favorite technique so far. I used eye shadow for the base of the enameling and then added, after cooking the clay bowls, a coating of Craf-T metallic rub-on paste to the top after cooking. Then I outlined the edges with Krylon's 18 K. gold pen. The base for all was Fimo gold.

Valentine's Mini Tree


I have a RL Valentine's tree which you can see here and that inspired me to make a miniature one as well. I made mini Fimo hearts and roses, attaching them to the tree with wires, for the decorations.

Real Gold Leaf Plates


My grandfather gave me some genuine gold leaf that's about a hundred years old and was made in Germany. I used a little of that to cover polymer clay and create these dollhouse plates. The crackle finish comes from rolling the clay a bit after adding the gold.
