Description
I've taken a bound, cloth covered book and embellished it with polymer clay and various found objects and glass gems. It reminds me of a flower and the gems are sparkling droplets of color...of course it is open to your interpretation.
)I hand painted the book with acrylic paints and attached the polymer clay plaque securely to the top cover. It measures 5.75" x 8.75" and has 100 pages lined on one side and unlined on the other for drawing and writing.
A lot of weirdness coming from me lately...but I just love the abstract shapes *grin*

Thank you very much! It doesn't take much more than a bit of clay, an oven, acrylic paint and odds and ends.

I have admired your journals for quite a long time. My question is: what do you use to stick the tiles to the cardboard/paper?

Thank you so much! I use an adhesive called Weldbond. It is a white glue that dries clear and is very strong.

This one is very different. Usually you use a lot of color in the clay.
...almost haunting.

Lovely! I love this. It looks a bit like both a torso and a face and a million other things besides...

Gorgeous. I like the woven bit over the glass gem. They're so well attached without being squashed against the surface at all.
To me it looks like water and life just welling out of a desert floor.
