New Schnik Pieces: Owls
I started out making owls after reading a CF tutorial about sculpting them from polymer clay. I made a few pieces following her instructions. The great thing about tutorials is that they get my fingers moving. I started making other, smaller pieces.
The larger pieces hold twigs and orbs in their talons. I sculpt the talons around the object first and use, if able, wires the will be covered with clay. I bake the most fragile piece first and add it to the larger piece later using the wire and liquid polymer clay to secure the bits.
I have yet to play with finishes and patinas. Maybe I'll try that after the Dickens show!
New Schnik Pieces: Knobby Twigs
The twigs and knobs are sculpted from polymer clay. Some of the twigs have flowers which are also made of polymer clay. There are multi jointed pieces, pieces with crystals for some sparkle, and pieces that have more polymer clay flowers dangling from them. I have blended the colours and textured the clay to add dimension to the knobby twigs.
