No new techniques here but two dear friends got married and I finally thought of a gift for the couple who has everything- a handmade, personalized ‘First Married-Christmas’ ornament in their wedding colors. I made four of them before I settled on two that were nice enough to gift. The names were stamped with lead ‘hot type’ printing stamps used back when we printed our maps on a press decades ago at the map company.
Premo! and Cernit polymer clays, mica powder, chameleon flakes, glass sphere, wire.
