This is the first project I have documented step by step after finding these cool mirrors outside the dumpster.
These look interesting! Mirrored glass is expensive..there must be something cool I could do with these.
First I cover the mirror with masking tape and then spray paint the ugly pink colour to a nice gold!
Voila!! Now I think I will make some polymer clay tiles and glue them in the outlined area,
I like to press buttons and stamps or anything with dimension into polymer clay and then bring out the pattern with beautiful mica powders.
I have some pretty square beads that fit across the top to add interest. Then I used buttons for the next impressions (three in a row) The next tile is an impression of a pendant I have and under that is a button.
I love paisley and recently purchased this stamp on sale at Michaels. After that I used a pendant for the corner heart with other small objects pressed to fill in a design and beside that I used an angel pin as well as a flower earring that was my mother's. So you get the picture. I now look at all jewelry to see if it could make an impression in clay.
I like to use letter stamps to create a message in the piece. This piece has the phrase |Life is Magical.
I trimmed the whole piece by gluing seed beads around the entire edge.
In the next piece I am going to use coloured clay and dust with the same colour powder to enhance. We'll see how that turns out in the next post.
