Haunani Gane'

I finished the framed cross (in the middle) in Lindly Haunani's Clay Carnival workshop.  I loved the vibrant colors and wanted a bigger piece.  When I got home, I used the scraps from class to finish covering the 6"X6" wrapped 2" deep canvas.  It can be wall hung, easel set or stand on its own.

Most of all, I love how the light shines through the translucent clay.   When time allows, I will be trying the Haunani Gane' again.  Lindly is a wonderful teacher with a unique sense of humor.  You can find Lindly's work and class information on her website LindlyHaunani.com and her Facebook Page.  Lindly also has a Pinterest board and a great blog.

Polymer Clay Cross

 I made a silicone mold of a purchased rhinestone cross.  Then pressed the raw polymer clay into the mold.  I then sculpted tiny roses and added some yellow and blue detail.  Cured it and strung it with some 4mm coral beads.

Polymer Pendants

 Above is a mica-shift technique I learned from Misha Barbee and below is a pendant with a cane pattern I learned from Sarah Shriver.

Polymer Cross

 I used a mold for the cross and then applied the hand sculpted rose and leaves.

 After baking, I highlighted the raised design with acrylic paint and sealed it with PYMII.

Polymer Cross #2

I purchased several new cross molds and have been having so much fun with them.   Just picked up another one which is larger so I can't wait to give it a try.
