Hello Crafters,
Today I am sharing some clay art which I created in 2001. Its a key ring holder.
Materials:
- Ceramic Powder
- Acrylic colours
- pre cut ply - key holder shape
- Water Based Glue
- Water
- Resin
Process:
- Apply primer to the ply board and paint with metallic colour. I chose golden colour
- Make a soft dough of porcelain clay (use small quantity), water and glue. Its should not be sticky and should be firm enough to hold its shape
- Prepare various shapes and press it on the painted ply.
- Use remaining porcelain clay and glue to make dough. its should be bit more runny which can be piped through a piping bag.
- Fill zip lock bag with the dough paste and snip off one of the corner to make a cone for piping the paste.
- Draw small items like twigs, leaves and small flowers, outlines using this method.
- Let it dry overnight and paint with your favourite acrylic colours
- Once the colours are dry apply thin coat of resin on all the design. This makes it look shiny and makes it easy to maintain.
Time: 4-5 Days inclusive of the drying time.
Happy Crafting

Looks awesome ...what is primer?
ReplyDeleteThanks Sonia. Primer is white coloured paint used to coat wood to stop the wood from absorbing the main paint.
DeleteHave you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
ReplyDeleteI mean, what you say is valuable and everything.
But think of if you added some great visuals or video
clips to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with images and
clips, this website could definitely be one of the best in its
field. Great blog!
I'm really enjoying the design and layout of your blog.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come
here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme?
Fantastic work!
