What’s Going on in KatersAcres Polymer Clay Studio?

Welcome back to another WIP Wednesday in KatersAcres polymer clay studio. Today not only will you see some things I’ve been working on, but you’ll also get a few of my recommendations as well. ENJOY and don’t forget to join me in the Whimsical Sculpting Clay Group, a free polymer clay FaceBook group.

Works in Progress at KatersAcres Polymer Clay Studio

  • Work in Progress Wednesday in KatersAcres Polymer Clay StudioI’ve been working on a lot of mixed media projects lately, which necessitated a craft store run for the ever popular, sequins.
  • Never to be without as a polymer clay artist are Adirondack alcohol inks by Tim Holtz. On this day I was using my favorite blue, “stream,” “slate,” and “silver” Mixatives color.
  • Before I do one of my mixed media projects, I start with a tile of paper that I coordinate with my color palette and a few stamps I choose to use.
  • My little studio, perfectly complete.
  • I’ve been doing a lot of mixed media pieces on canvas boards lately. You’ll see upcoming tutorials very soon.
  • Looking for a way to mask portions of your polymer clay? If you’re a painter, you likely have Miskit sitting around your home. Grab it and use it on your clay. Since it’s latex, it won’t hurt the clay and as a bonus, it’s more readily available than Kato Repel Gel. Buy a bottle on Amazon here.
  • More fantasy faces in progress this week as I work toward my 2016 Polymer Clay Challenge goals. Join the Challenge here.
  • A few beautiful brass hearts I grabbed and removed the top layer of patina for an upcoming project. These hearts are from the lovely Brenda of B’Sue Boutiques.
  • Last but not least, I am rarely in the studio when one of my children (cat or dog) doesn’t come in to either inspect my work, say hi, or make a nuisance of themselves. This past week Smokie couldn’t get enough of me, she was always in my studio when I was.
