The other day I got three of Christi Friesen’s sculpture series books. I had a hard time figuring out which one I wanted to play with first. It was a toss up between the Under the Sea and Welcome to the Jungle. The both have some of my favorite animals in them. In the toss up, Under the Sea won. Here is my very first turtle.
I think that he is pretty cool! I am looking forward to creating him some friends to play with. This one will be a pin but I am going to make barrettes, beads and who knows whatelse. I also plan on added seahorses, starfish and fish to his playmates. They are great fun. Check out Christi Friesen’s works at her website, http://www.cforiginals.net/ . They are wonderfully creative!
The other day I made transucent colors by mixing translucent clay with small amount of different colored clays. I then used some of the block that I made to cover two different barrettes. The top one is on a black clay blank and the lower one is on yellow clay. They are both very different looking but nice. I will have to play more with this technique.
