<\/span>These “Spot”<\/em> features are for you guys to display your accomplishments, share stories of inspiration and even ask for assistance with challenges that you may be experiencing. The projects are based on techniques learned from articles here at the blog, as well as from tutorials at the Polymer Clay Video Library<\/a>. My hope is for these “Show and Tell”<\/em> features to help everyone get to know each other a bit better, thanks to this wonderfully artistic medium of polymer clay. And…<\/strong><\/em> by participating, you can win some beads<\/a> too!

I love the faux-jade video<\/a> (Vol-023-2) so much, that I made two shades of green in one evening.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I made the dark green first, using Stream and Butterscotch Adirondack Alcohol Inks<\/a> and verdigris embossing powder. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I liked it, but I wanted a lighter color… so I tried using less Stream Adirondack Ink and adding Citrus Adirondack Ink, again with verdigris embossing powder.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Voil\u00e0! After sanding and buffing, I added a patina of gold acrylic paint and a coat of Future Floor Polish<\/a>.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span> <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
