A Little Bit of This - A Little Bit of That By Jeannie Havel |
|
 |

The
working title for this column was "Clay Scraps" but I strongly believe
that no such thing exists. So, I went to my fabulous Editorial Advisory
Board and they came up with a variety of titles. We settled on "Clay
Crumbs." Crumbs are those little things that aren't quite big enough to
stand on their own, but represent a treat nonetheless. Here is a little
bit of this and a little bit of that -- I hope you have fun with these
"crumbs."

| A Polymer Clay "Rosette" starring
Miracle MoldTM from Puffinalia |
||
| While I was researching material
for the Hex Signs
article, I read that rosettes represent "good luck" and are thought to
be the oldest of the symbols used. I thought I might try making a
rosette myself, but physical limitations prevent me from claying like I
once did. I searched everywhere for a rosette "mold" and came up
empty-handed. To comfort myself, I decided to break open a pack of
sugar-free cookies. Gotta love fate -- there was my rosette. Not only
had I found just what I had in mind for the mold, but gosh did it taste
great, too! Here's how I made it: |
||
 Step One: Follow manufacturer's instructions
for using Miracle MoldTM, the two-part room
temperature vulcanizing
("RTV") mold compound from Puffinalia.
I used a small ball of Part A (white) and an equal amount of Part B
(red) combined until fully mixed (sort of). The resulting material will
be pink (see images below).
