I've chosen a 2"x6" base, folded in half. I've finished the beading on the cover and now have the inside to finish. The blue background behind the sequins is polymer clay.
The sequins are enclosed in dimensional resin gloss which is cured in a UV lamp. The end result is a glass-like hard finish (see December 3, 2009 post for UV lamp details).
The inside is bendable Sculpey polymer clay because I want to be able to open and close it.
I'm probably three-quarters finished. Yay. It has taken over and I'm just following the process.

We were sitting on the patio last night watching the sunset. I was snapping photo after photo and finally asked my husband to take some as he is quite tall and has a different perspective. This is one he took of the mountain against the golden orange sky; now my favorite. Later, there was a falling star. What a night, what a gift.
COOL piece!
