Hippie chalenge

I participated in a jewel challenge organized by the moderators of the forum Polym'air de rien (french forum), just to motivate myself.

Theme : hippies

So I made a rainbow gradient, and I tried to make ... ? Of course flowers!

The outcome :

Bubbles

Two months later !!

Then, always with the same color palette, I made skimming stones ...

 

I have problems with the finishes ... My pendant plate broke when I transferred to the parchment paper before cooking. And varnish I use is pretty ugly. But it is new! I still have a whole pot. It's full of bubbles. I will change the brush and may be trying to dilute it.

Drilling my plate necklace has also given me a hard time. I should train more.

Béabullesque, first step

Here is an overview of what is happening in my home... It is rather nice from afar butclosely we see many irregularities. It was my first "béabullesque" and I was in a hurry. Plus I roll soft silicone that attracts dust and glue it in the clay... I hope that after sanding it will get better.

"Béabullesque", What a strange name could you say ! This is because I used the idea of ​​Béabul. Except that I have done a single gradient, and I added streamers. Go take a look at the tutorial, if you're curious.

I had a mounting in mind before starting. But now that I see the plate, I think it exudes a sweetness that I'm afraid to break. I do not know yet how to cut. You will still have to wait a bit to see the final result.

Equipment side

Recently it was my birthday, and on this occasion ... I got sick.

So sick => mouse is stuck in it, but in poor condition and can do almost anything. Inspiration side is nothingness, precision side is not terrible either. After a few days driving around my hole, I eventually wanted to try to make my own cutter house. I had seen several tutorials on the net based on soda cans or aluminum trays.

So here's what I did :

And as it was my birthday anyway, I had some gifts.

My stepmother (Sicilian) offered me his pasta machine "Imperia". The crank is stuck because it's not the real one, but it runs. I feel that it will change my life!

And my mother offered me a Makin's extruder, which has a thread size. This is great. Before I had a syringe extruder, I tried once, got busted hand and I gave up.

So nice  !!

So awfull !!

Tutorial : Mounting wire cable

Here is my first tutorial, at the request of someone on a french forum.

It explains how to use crimp beads.

Personally I do not use protective wire cable at the clasp and I've never had a problem so far. I have not used either the pearl cache, but I think it still ends up better necklace. This gives a neater appearance.

Likeness of a friend

Here is a new friend for the breton couple.

There's progress now, compared to my previous two characters. It is thinner. But I struggled to do hair for all polymer clay and back in a bun.

The glasses are wire (copper clad I think).

A few canes

Comme je ne produis plus rien en ce moment, voici des canes de pâte fimo en attente d'inpiration.


First a pad cat cane, because it was easy to make...

A flower cane, inspired by poppies, and a few beads. Don't look at the defects of sanding!

 

And to finish, here is a veeeery little flower cane, made very fast to explain the principle to someone. And finally, I do like it.

Sorry for tue pictures quality, the weather is so bad for now. I was tired waiting for the sun.
I hope it will be better next time.
