\"Snowman <\/span>“I have been working on Christmas ornaments for family so I have been busy, which is good.” ~Jackie-N<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Me too Jackie! I’ve been making ornaments for my kids and their cousins for Christmas. Today’s photo is of a cute little polymer clay Skater Dude Snowman and his two Lady Friends. I still have two more to go, but I wanted to show everyone what I’ve got finished so far.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ornaments that are heavy, tend to pull the branches down, so to keep these guys light, I used Sculpey UltraLight<\/a> for their snow bodies and Premo for the colored details.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Snow Girls were given the more traditional snowman garb with hats and scarves. As far as embellishments, you may recognize the flower buttons on the snow girls from the Extruder Flower Cane<\/a> video from last week.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the little Skater Dude Snowman, I used a slice from one of my Pirate Canes to make his cap and gave him some ‘Christmas Bling’ with a chain and a reindeer charm the size of his chest! The wheels on his skateboard were made with silver headpins for the axles, and large seed beads for the wheels.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two small seed beads were used as eyes on each of the snowmen. I like to use the tiny beads as eyes instead of clay because they are easier than making tiny little clay balls and they have the twinkle of glass.<\/span><\/p>\n

All three snow people were given a blue shimmer of Pearl-Ex Powder<\/a> on the snowy areas and a pink sheen on their cheeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

To protect the mica powdered surfaces, I gave them all a quick spray of PYMII<\/a> after baking, which also gave them a lovely shine.<\/span><\/p>\n

I really like how these guys turned out and am looking forward to making some more!<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyone else making polymer clay ornaments for Christmas this year? Do tell!<\/span> <\/span> <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
