polymer ponderings. . .

Halloween is nearly here. . .


and Thanksgiving is gone by for another year... so i thought i would post photos of my pumpkin pins -- some for giving thanks and a few to spook you!!

i made the molds with a baked polymer clay model and super elasticlay.

after the orange clay was modeled in the mold i popped it out, added the stem and bottom bits of green and baked it... then i added some dark acrylic paint and rubbed it off and then put it back in the warm oven for a few minutes to set the paint.



and here are some of the pumpkins decorated for halloween!

i used glow in the dark polymer clay and the results surprised even me, they glow so spookily in the dark.....

the small one resulted from not putting so much clay into the mold.....
