Pets In Polymer

Little "Sophie" didn't turn out.  I gave it a good try, but I couldn't accomplish what I wanted.  The background overwhelms and the colors are too stark.  Where's the aspirin?

I did a transfer of the photocopy on to polymer clay, but added a thin layer of translucent over it and baked.  After it cooled, I distressed it, rubbed acrylic paint into the marks and wiped it off.  I lightly buffed the entire piece, front and back.  I made a herringbone necklace to hang the sterling silver hinged bail and pendant on.

I used a photo of my friend's dog "Chelsie" and photocopied and reduced it several times.  I transferred it to polymer clay and then used a colored pencil to enhance the detail (top left).  I baked it after adding the color pencil and sealed it with a thin coat of Magic Glos. The bottom photo shows all the transfers and images I was not happy with.  Try it, you'll like it.
