Dry Clay, Wet Clay

I have bags full of cast Creative Paperclay® objects to use in future pieces of art. I love it's adhesive qualities and the fact that I can add fresh clay to dry clay pieces or embed dry cast objects into fresh clay.

SUPPLIES
Creative Paperclay®
Creative Paperclay® cast objects
Art surface
Glue
Stamps
Paint
I had this painting started and wanted to addapply a halo with clay. While it was still damp I made the halo shape and smoothed it out.
I stamped into the halo with a rubber stamp then pushed the dry cast objects into the wet clay and glued the rest of the flowers to the surface with glue. Next thing will be to add paint but still at the stage where I am debating adding any more objects to the piece.

This is so lovely and ethereal. I didn't realize dry clay could be added to wet so beautifully. Thank you for sharing.
