OK when they say mixed media, they REALLY mean it!
Check out this project:
It's from:
Polymer Clay and Mixed Media — Together at Last
Incorporating Craft Materials and Found Objects in Clay Figures
By
Christi Friesen
Polymer Clay and Mixed Media—Together at Last is about making polymer clay figures—jewelry pieces, focal beads, décor items, knick-knacks—and incorporating beads, fibers, fabrics, glass, stones, etc. to create special effects. Embellishing polymer clay with mixed media adds a sophistication and richness without making the projects complicated or inaccessible to the average crafter.
Christi Friesen works in mixed media and combines polymer clay, glass, acrylic, found objects, gems, and semi-precious stones, glass beads, pearls, precious metals, and pigments to make her sculptural pieces and art jewelry. She is an award-winning artist and her work has been featured in magazine articles, books, galleries, exhibits, and juried shows as well as on her Web sites: www.CFOriginals.com and www.CFJewelryArt.com.
I just think it's amazing what can be combined with polymer clay! Be sure to pop on over to Christi's 2 sights www.CFOriginals.com and www.CFJewelryArt.com for more of her magic!
Oh and if you want the full step by step instructions for this cool project and tons more cruise on over to Amazon to grab yourself a copy of Polymer Clay and Mixed Media—Together at Last!
Polymer Clay and mixed media should have always been together... they are such a great fit! There is almost no crafting medium that you couldn't mix with polymer clay! Christie of course a master at it. Very fun little Dragon!
