I started playing with paper clay. I wasn't even sure what it was. Is it clay? Is it paper mache? I think it is a cross between the two. I keep seeing really fun doll faces and ornaments made from paper clay so I have been trying to figure it out. I went to the store and I couldn't find the black package of paper clay that I saw on the internet and I was getting discouraged. I dropped something and when I bent down to pick it up there it was! On a bottom shelf shoved way back!! One little package of paper clay in a black package! I snatched it right up like a greedy little kid. There was no one around me so I'm not sure why I was acting like that!?! Lol! It is the coolest thing ever! I'm in love with it!! It is so soft and easy to use. I even found a recipe for it online so that I could make it for myself at home. Paper Clay Recipe Take a look at this site - she has lots of information and her videos are so useful!! I'm going to try to make it very soon because I already used up the package I bought. Here is a picture of what I working on:
I made two of the one that is round and has the cone shape sticking out of the front. I'm going to make a snowman face with painted eyes and a coal smile. One I'll cover in chunky glitter (like snow) and the other I'll do a crackle finish (like an antique style ornament). I wanted to see which type I liked better and which turns out nicer. I'll post again when I get them painted and add the finishing touches. Do you the like creepy toothy smile on the snowman head in the middle? He is my favorite!!!!
