PaperClay Cupcake Birdy

Funky Clay Bird

Yay! I finally have a new battery for my 

camera and was finally able to take a picture 

of my finished funky clay bird!

Side View

I started with a  Styrofoam ball and built up the 

clay up around it. For the legs I used long lollipop 

sticks, for the eyes I used small black glass beads 

and the shoes are also made with the fimo clay.

Instead of the Paperclay I previously used HERE and HERE. I used a package of  Staedtler's Fimo Microwave clay that I've had and finally decided to give it a try.  I love that it can dry lickty split in the microwave. What I don't like about it compared to the Paperclay is that it doesn't smooth out as easily.  I found I had to get it really wet in order to smooth it out and even then it didn't get as smooth as I would have liked.

Paperclay and Fairy Door

My art peeps and I worked with paperclay again yesterday.

I sure do enjoy working with it.  We used Creative Paperclay pictured above

Once we're done I used my dehydrator to help speed the drying time up.

Here's a dessert tree and bird I made.

And my favorite piece I made is a fairy door..I have always wanted a fairy door!

After I painted the door I coated it really heavily with PYM II which works exceptionally well for sealing paperclay!

Here's a picture taken further away with it 

already installed. Now I'm just waiting for 

the fairies to arrive :-)
