Cj's Clay and Art Scraps: Polymer Clay--The face #1

Hello! And welcome to Cj's Clay and Art Scraps.

Creating has always been a part of my life.

In my younger years, I drew.

As a young mother, I crocheted, knitted, cooked, baked from scratch, sewed, and drew some more!

I was laid off in 2006, and during that time, I started digitally drawing in Paint Shop Pro. I've always used version 9, and I'm still using it today. Perhaps you've had a chance to pick up some of my free graphics at http://www.EasyAsPieDailyGraphics.com.

I was blessed to find a new job in the fall of 2006, after being off for about 7 months. So, I still work outside my home today, and probably will for about seven more years. In my retirement years, I hope to be doing my graphics and art/s full time.

I have another blog at www.HomeSpunGraphics.blogspot.com. And today ... the birth of Cj's Clay and Art Scraps. I invite your feedback, and if you like what you see, please feel free to follow me.

About three years ago, I became enthralled with sculpey clay, fimo, and all the others. I've created lots of items, and I'm at the point, where I'm ready to really begin posting some of my creations.

This first today is: The Face #1. Along with my clay creations, I will also post my art scraps.

I recently became aware of Rick and Maria's Zentangles, and I've started incorporating that into my art work. Zentangles is coined and owned by Rick and Maria. You can check them out at www.zentangles.com.

The face here was originally formed from a face mold, but after forming it, I manipulated it to my liking. Molds are terrific for jump-starting a project, and shaping it further to make it your own.

Unfortunately, you cannot see all the glittery spots on the face, but she is very pretty. She sits on a white base, and on a red and green leaf. There are 3 layers to this pendant. The flower is my art scrap.

The leaf is more detailed than it appears in the picture. It is red and green colored with white veins.

I started with the face, and that sat on my desk for several days. Many items sit on my desk for months, even a year or two. Some items never get finished. About the time I think it's time to put a piece away for awhile, the finished idea pops into my mind. This is always such a joyful experience.

I'd love your feedback on The Face #1, so please leave a comment.

Check back occasionally, because I have lots of items to post.

Enjoy!

Cj
