Polymer clay is just so cool, it’s hard not to get excited about all the many possibilities! At least that’s how I felt after finishing the project pictured above. It’s Faux Turquoise and Crackled Gold Leaf, inlayed into a Faux Bone<\/a> covered container.<\/span><\/p>\n

This project ended up as a Christmas gift for my Dad, and I just love how it looks (so did he).<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n

I’ll be making some Faux Inlay Pendants soon… and would be happy to demonstrate how to make them for you guys, in an upcoming library video.

I’ve seen techniques in a book but since I’ve been a member, I’ve discovered how much better it is to see a process actually demonstrated.<\/span> ~Rose-M<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Inlay with polymer clay is a fun thing to learn. You can embed pretty much anything into a polymer clay base.\u00a0 But the faux techniques such as faux turquoise<\/a>, faux bone, faux wood<\/a>, faux amber, faux stone<\/a> and even crackled gold leaf<\/a> with ink… all suit this technique especially well.<\/span><\/p>\n

The faux bone container in the photo above looks so real, that it is a bit of a shock to feel how light it actually is. There is no glossy finish on the container. All the shine comes from a very thorough hand sanding<\/a> and buffing<\/a> with a Dremel rotary tool. It feels so smooth and timeworn in your hands, you’d swear it had been around for generations.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
