Beaded Clay Pendant by Jenn

Hello everyone! Jenn here today sharing a pendant I have created using Creative Paperclay® and Dew Drops!

One of my favorite things to create with Creative Paperclay® is jewelry. For this pendant I wanted it to look natural. I hand molded the shape rather than using a silicone mold. For the jewels I rolled small balls of the clay and then used the end of a paintbrush to hollow the middles. I used Dew Drops from The Robin's Nest to the holes to appear like gemstones. The middle is another rolled small piece of clay that I used a clay tool to put lines in. I then carved some lines into the leaf to give it texture.

I used Plaid paints in metallic green and copper to finish it, then added a hemp cord.

Here is a collage featuring some other jewelry I have created using this amazing clay!

You are Lovely Altered Frame

Hello everyone! Jenn here today to share my altered frame I created using Creative Paperclay™ and Delight®!

 Creative Paperclay™ Modeling Material and Delight® are great for creating beautiful molded embellishments for all mixed media projects such as this altered frame.
Here is a  photo tutorial on how I created mine:

You can use watercolor pencils as I did with a waterbrush or use paints as well.

All of my embellishments were molded using silicone molds. I always have a stash of molded pieces!

Use scraps of cardboard at different thicknesses to elevate the pieces for dimension.

Be sure to dry in between sprays of color with a heat tool so they do not mix.

 Creative Paperclay® is moldable and sculptable!

Delight™ air dry modeling compound is lightweight when dry so it is great for creating projects such as these. It takes very well to inks and sprays when dried and gessoed as well.

A Fun Tropical Trio by Jenn

Hello everyone!! Jenn here sharing a fun trio of tropical fun projects created using both Delight™ air dry modeling compound and the original Creative Paperclay®!!

This set includes a vase made from an altered bottle, A trinket dish and an incense burner!

These were created using a variety of silicone molds and some real live leaves from my own yard!

All of the flowers and ferns were molded using Delight™ air dry modeling compund.

The larger leaves were created using real live leaves, a rolling pin, and the original Creative Paperclay®.

Here are some closer views.

To create the leaves above roll out some Creative Paperclay® on to a non stick surface. Lay your leaf flat and roll over it with a rolling pin or brayer. Gently pull the leaf away and drape the piece over something rounded to dry so it dries with a shape like a dish. Dry the longer leaf flat. Add molded flowers and paint!

Two of the long flat leaves were created using the Delight™ and wrapped around the bottle to dry. Once dry, add glue to secure them to the glass. Add molded flowers and coat all with heavy gesso. After gesso dries add paint!

Here is a photo of the set in use as a trinket dish, vase, and incense burner.

Mixed Media Magic with Delight™

Happy Holidays!! Jenn here today, sharing a wintery tag using embellies molded from Delight™ air dry modeling compound. Delight™ is made by the Amazing Creative PaperClay®!

I love the soft hues associated with Winter and I really wanted to do a collage using some of the many pieces I have molded with Delight™.

Supply List:

Chipboard tag 4" X 7.5"

Heavy White Gesso

Delight™ air dry modeling compound

Iron Orchid Molds

Renea Bouquet Flowers

Tim Holtz Chippie sentiments

Cheesecloth

Art Anthology Inks

Art Stones

Sparks Acrylics

White Crackle texture paste

Stencil

Stamps and inks

Prep all of the supplies including molded pieces. Be sure to allow the molded pieces to dry overnight before adding them and creating the tag.

To create this tag start by coating it in heavy white gesso and allowing it to air dry.

Next add a white crackle texture paste through a stencil. Let the paste dry completely to achieve the most crackling effect.The one used here is bricks by Tim Holtz.

Next add your first molded embellishment. This is a column. On this tag I have created leaves, flowers, clock, and the column all from Delight™ air dry modeling compound using silicone molds.

Next add color using a spray ink or watered down acrylic. Here I started with a purple ink. More color can be added once this one dries or is dried with a heat tool.

Add some scrolled lettering stamping lightly. Continue to build and add embellishments and flowers until you have the desired result.

Delight™ air dry modeling compound is lightweight when dry so it is great for creating projects such as tags and cards. It takes very well to inks and sprays when dried and gessoed as well.

Fun Fairy House

Hello everyone! Jenn here today sharing my Fun Fairy House project I created using the amazing Creative Paperclay®!

This project has actually been a vision for awhile so I decided to just sit down and do it!

To create my house I used the following clay:

Creative Paperclay®

Other Supplies:

Delight™

White Gesso

Molds both silicone and plastic

Acrylic paints and Spray inks

Antique Wax

Woodgrain Stamp

Small Mason Jar with lid

Spray clear sealant

Glue

How It Was Made

Start with a clean, dry mason jar and lid. Roll a piece of paperclay out to about 1/8" thickness. Wrap woodgrain stamp around a rolling pin and roll across the flattened clay. Wrap this around the jar and pinch closed. Smooth out the seam closure with fingers and add woodgrain stamp as needed to match up. Set this aside and allow to dry completely.

Next, mold all pieces needed such as the door, mushrooms, window and all of the leaves for the roof.

Create a base for the lid by molding some Delight™ around the rim and up into the shape of the roof. This will create a nice surface to adhere the leaf roof too. You can use straight pins to hold down leaves that want to be difficult.

Create the lid by gently stacking the molded leaves while they are wet, shaping them as you go. Once they are nearly dry, use a hot glue gun to adhere them in the same places they were dryed in. This ensures that they all fit. Add a fun twisted piece of scrap clay to the top and set aside for drying.

 For the molded door I added a bit more interest by rolling a length of clay across my woodgrain stamp and wrapping it around the door as seen below.

Once the lid is completely dry and all leaves are securely in place, Use a filing tool to smooth out any rough edges on each leaf then painting begins. Start by coating the leaves in white gesso. Alternate between shades of greens and yellows, dark and light to get the look seen below. 

Next I painted all of my other pieces and allowed them to dry. Once dry they were adhered using glue.

When completed the lid will still unscrew and the jar can be used for trinkets, etc.!

Here are some closer views of all the fun detail achieved on this project!
