Look
at my beat up molds. They are very well used. When I have a little time
but not enough time to dig into a painting, I cast objects. I have
drawers full of them that are ready when needed. Some are created with
plain Creative Paperclay® and others are tinted or painted.
I decided to make a beach necklace piece of art today.
SUPPLIES
Creative Paperclay®
Panel or canvas
Acrylic paint
Molds & cast objects
Glue
Aquarium sand (hard to get beach sand in Santa Fe)
I
started by applying surface texture to my panel then gluing down cast
and found objects to my surface. I gave it a wash of tan over the white and sprinkled sand on it while wet. I
actually liked it at this point but I wanted a more colorful beach look.
I
applied paint to part of the base and started adding elements for
placement. At this point, I sit back and look at it for several days to
see if I need to change color, soften the look or if it needs more
details.
Dream in Color!
