I just listed these new shabby chic/cottage wall adornments on
Etsy. After taking Lynn's polymer clay class on Sunday, it inspired me to finish the beads used for these two adornments.
These adornments are perfect for that sorely-needed
spring pick-me-up. I don't know about you, but the snow's starting to get on my nerves. Hang these one-of-a-kind pieces on your wall, or use them as ornaments.
I used Celluclay paper mache to construct each heart. Celluclay produces an old-world paper mache texture; whereas, the Paperclay (used for the beads) results in a smoother texture. I like both textures, so I decided to incorporate both paper mache products into these pieces.
Here's a closeup of the beads and parts of the hearts. This will give you a better idea about the differences in textures.
I've read where some artists use Paperclay over the Celluclay after it's dried. I've never tried that technique yet. If you have any thoughts on it, drop me a line.
