First Silver Stuff....

Well, these are my first attempts at using the Art Clay Silver. Pics are a bit crappy but I couldn't wait for daylight.
The leaf was done with paste over a real leaf but is, I think, a bit of a disaster. Still, lessons were learned and I'll try a better leaf next time.

The lady type person has the headpiece, collar and other bits burnished to a high shine but the face and inside the headpiece is actually more matt in real life.

ahem..very very nice...of course i love both of them..but just an idea...are you sure you wouldn't be better to concentrate on something else first....i mean...um....well ....why not try GOATS.... you know goats are friendly and cute...and it just so happens that i love both silver and Goats....

I am so loving that leaf...its gorgeous....oooh...try a piece of xmassy ferny leaves..or bits of xmas tree....

Lorraine - they are both gorgeous. I've seen them demo it on C&C in the past
although not recently. It's very effective.

i reckon she is ignoring me steph!!!!

Well for first attempts I reckon they are pretty darn good myself!!
I like the leaf too.

Did someone say something ?????????????????

Both terrific, very impressive. I think goats would be very tricky to make, now hippo's, they're easier surely.

I like the leaf and the general look of the stuff. the 'person' type looks a bit oriental (and you know me and oriental!)

Lovely Lorraine, well done on your first attempt, blimy if your first is that good goodness knows what number 2 will look like. Super duper I would say xxx

Wow! If only some of my first attempts at things were half as good! Love the leaf - looks so real.

They are really lovely, Lesley uses this clay as well.

Thanks, girls.
It's funny though. Everybody seems to like the leaf and yet I just love the woman thing. It's much nicer in real life and I'm already wearing it. Can't part with my first ever piece can I?

The leaf is, in fact, broken. so I did some experimenting with Liver of Sulphur and aged it. I wasn't sure I'd like the effect, but I think I do.

lorraine i loved the leaf before , not so sure of the after effect , but then again , you can see it IRL and we cant . i also like the lady but as you may know oriental stuff is not my bag !

Oh I love it more now, but liked it before anyway.

you've deffo improved it IMO.

(hated the sound of the liver thing though)

They are great. How did you do the face one? did you have a mould?

My first thought when I saw this was "that leaf is gorgeous", so if that's a disaster I hate to think how amazing a success would be!

Wow they look fab for a first attempt
