Miss Worries

I don't know how this is for you, but I tend to think a lot. And sometimes I worry about small things I shouldn't really worry at all.

This lady woke me up early today.

Last week I modeled and cooked a few little polymer clay pieces. So when I walked into my studio today I decided what to do.

To keep Miss Worries out of my mind, I decided to lock her in this tiny painting.  

This is the size of the painting:

 

Being in my studio, with the morning light and music is the best way to spend a Sunday.
Painting my worries helped me not being worried any more!

My new earrings

I made myself a pair of turquoise earrings this weekend.
With polymer clay and my beloved inks.

my little princess modelling...

"What little art"

I am choosing the photos for the post, and my little son (he is 7) says: "What little art".
This is another mini-painting to wear. It is a brooch. I made the piece in polymer clay and painted my little princess with acrylics.
As you can see the painting has relief... so it is really difficult to photograph. The pictures do no do real justice to it. I tried several times, and decided to share the best ones. 
While not in use, I will place it in a little black box, as a frame.

It is really little. The painting itself is 5cm tall, and the complete brooch 6.5cm.

I decided to paint a princess... because we always like to feel like one and be treated that way, right?

New necklace. Inspired in my little Peruvian angel.

Second of the week

A more formal one. With an oriental feeling.

 

This is the end of the necklaces week! I have several projects ongoing. Furniture to recycle, a little chair waiting to be painted and the embroidering for my daughter.

Necklace week

Making necklaces takes time. The clay needs to be knead, cooked, decorated, painted, protected with special varnish and then the piece can be assembled. Since the pieces are not large, is also a detailed work.
This week I went to buy chains, hooks, a lot of little things ... now I have everything to make my necklaces and no excuse!
I love making this little pieces, is an act of patient that feels good ...  

I am making myself two necklaces in the same base color, but quite different in style.

This is first, more casual.

The pieces before being cooked in the oven

All done. I also added a few little details.

And I am wearing it already!

Tiny paintings to wear

These Easter holidays were a good excuse for this project: tiny paintings. There are made in polymer clay, painted with acrylics and protected.

the size is like it is shown in this picture

Ready to wear! two new necklaces

New media: polymer clay

Yesterday I started working with a new material (polymer clay). 
And today I wore the necklace I made yesterday using it!

I love it.  You first model the pieces, then needs a short time in the oven to get dry and then you can paint the piece.

I started doing leaves, manually modeled the pieces and made the ribs using my stamps, which proved to be excellent molds. For the green curls, I mixed a bit of turquoise and a bit of orange clay.  When they were dry and cold, I painted them. 

I tried different distributions of the leaves in the necklace I made using pieces of old ones.

This is it!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
