Portrait in Clay

The overall size of this pieces is 4 ¾” x 4”.  I used a crackle and transfer technique to age the image.  Click here for the tutorial.  The upper right corner and lower left corner are made from stamped paper clay, using the rubber stamp pictured below.  I just used the edges of the stamp and cutaway the other bits while the clay was wet.  Click here to see the tutorial on stamping paper clay.  The piece is embellished with brass findings (that I aged with paint), and images of vintage jewelry to which I’ve added crystals and Glossy Accents.

    Beautiful Laura! I love the aged effect you were able to get on this piece. I looks like something one would find at an estate sale. GORGEOUS!

    This is drop dead gorgeous, Laura. Just beautiful!

    My "shootout" ATC arrived today. I wasn't able to see the little shootout holes in it from the picture online. Thought that was fun. Thank you again!
