I
was working on this assemblage for a show and I was stuck until I
started using Creative Paperclay® on another project and I realized it
was just what I needed for this piece.
SUPPLIES
Creative Paperclay®
Acrylic Paint
Embossed paper
Cinnamon
I started with balls of clay, making them all about the same size.
I
laid embossed paper over the clay balls and brayered them flat. The
pattern looked great on them. These became the pedals of the skirt.
I
applied the embossed disks to the assemblage to make a skirt and shaped
some clay to look like flames. I let the clay dry thoroughly. The skirt
was painted with a burnt umber paint and cinnamon was sprinkled on the
paint while it was still wet. It gave it a faux rust look. I then
painted the little flames with orange and yellow paint.
Play, Experiment and Dream in Color.
