Texture Plate from Laser Cut Paper

The above is going to be a pin. I still want to sculpt a small black spider to put on it.

The texture plate produced some nice crisp impressions (above). I did give the baked plate a light dusting of cornstarch before applying my scrap clay.

I conditioned some scrap flesh tone polymer and ran it through the pasta machine on a thin setting.

Then took the laser cut paper and laid it on the polymer and ran it through the same thin setting on the pasta machine. Then I gently lifted the laser cut paper off the polymer and it resulted in the above. I am holding the baked piece (above) in front of a light so you can see the transparency. Kind of fun.

I know I still have to make some cupcakes. I have tons of the pretty cream color wraps (above), so will make a chocolate brownie cupcake with chocolate frosting and tiny pearl candies on top. Like yesterday's picture. Yeah, right.

Texture Plate from Laser Cut Paper

These are laser cut paper cupcake wrappers from Paper Orchid Stationary. I originally ordered a bunch of these to wrap the cupcakes I was going to make with my new Kitchen Aid Pro Line Mixer. But then, I thought "Polymer".

Especially this one. I love this spider web cupcake wrap. So, I got out Donna Kato's "The Art of Polymer Clay Creative Surface Effects" and followed her instructions on how to make a texture plate from laser cut paper. It worked, as you will see tomorrow.

But I also wanted to show you this glass "apron". Aren't they great? I'm thinking "Polymer" again.
