WINTER WONDERLAND…

 

 

 

2017 CreateAlongThis winter ornament was made by using an art box from CreateAlong.com   This month the CreateAlongBox included a 2-way silkscreen, a Texture Stax with 6 different crystal designs, a snowflakes silicone mold, a chipboard ornament to cover with clay, some DewDrop Brillance Heat-set ink and Sparkly icy mica powdered pigments. I added a glass ornament in the middle and filled it with vintage glass glitter and some mica flakes.  I finished the edges with vintage glass glitter. And of course I had to include some ball chain for a slight steampunk look.

2017 Katie OrnamentMy nephew David and his wife Betsy lost their beautiful daughter Katie to Angiosarcoma this past July.  This ornament, in her memory, was made from Sculpey Souffle™ polymer clay.  Katie fought the good fight but cancer won in the end.  Rest in peace Katie, I know you are sorely missed.

FOR KRISTY AND COLLEEN…

 

 

 

Abstract Bokeh Background Christmas Snow LightsThe picture of the two adorable babies on this ornament is another ink jet transfer, in other words it is entirely made of clay.  Sculpey® Souffle polymer clay was used and I also used my Makin’s Professional® Ultimate Clay Machine® and Makin’s® Texture Sheets in the process. Merry Christmas to two incredible women, I hope you enjoy my little piece of art for you. I made two ornaments, the picture shows the front and the back.

FOR MEGAN AND CHRIS…

This steampunk ornament features an ink jet polymer clay transfer on the front and gears on the back.  I learned this technique from a video on YouTube by Willowbird Studio.  I also used a Makin’s® Texture Sheet in the process and some ball chain and gears. The piece was antiqued with oil paint.
