Periwinkle Dreams 8x10 inch print

Just added to my etsy site: "Fly on Periwinkle Dreams; you were born with wings." This print is available on 8 1/2 x 11 inch archival paper and printed with archival digital inks to last for generations. The original painting/collage was done with layers of acrylic paints, fabric for the dress and hat, a stamp for the face painted over with acrylics, copper wire, a handmade shrink plastic charm (LOVE tag), buttons, dimensional paint, hand stamped and painted fabric for the design in the upper left corner. Some metallic paint was used.

The buttons are coming! The buttons are coming!

Yes, they are finally here after years in the making. Polymer clay buttons you can really sink your teeth into.......NOT! Seriously, these are one of a kind original designs made by moi, having worked on my polymer clay techniques for many years. You actually use a pasta machine as part of the process for creating these little works of art. Colored clays must be mixed and conditioned by kneading, rolling and generally abusing the clay until it is soft and pliable. That's where the pasta machine comes in. You must laboriously roll sheets of the mixed stuff through the machine about 20 times. You do this for each color you are creating. Then you are ready to start putting the colors together in various shapes and combinations to create logs of clay that you can slice into geometric patterns that dazzle the eye. You can also stamp, paint, carve and sand the clay to allow endless design variations. I also make jewelry out of this clay which I will show in another post. I will in the next couple of weeks be posting my paintings, prints, jewelry, buttons and note cards on ETSY, an internet website for artists to sell their handmade wares.
