Polymer Clay Art Vases

A quick 96 second video of my polymer clay embellished vases.  I had fun putting this together.  Some of the pieces are quite old.  The one with the beaded  curly-Qs is from the mid '90's.  Some are small.  The spiral cane covered vase is 4" tall.  Some are tall.  The leaf and petal vase is 24" tall.  Sea Nymph#1 and Sea Nymph#2 are translucent clay sculpted on glass.  The floating clouds under water  are "finger painted" on a ceramic vase.  The same with the gecko vase.  Much fun.

Polymer Clay Fases Vaces #4

Fases Vace #4. This one is very primitive and rustic.

No smooth edges to these characters. I intentionally did not blend, smooth or integrate any of the shapes, texturing or layering.

Long face, blue tear and having a bad hair day (above).

Going to take a break from Fases Vaces and tomorrow am going to post a couple of caned vases that have clean, simple lines.

Polymer Clay Fases Vaces #3

Fases Vace #3. The largest polymer clay hand sculpted face is less than 7/8" (lower right bottom of vase). The average is less than 1/2" and the smallest is about a 1/4".

I did not use any tools; only my fingernails. I wanted it's "finish" to be on the rough side. Life can be tough and confusing with moments of going round and round with something and if we are not careful, we end up spiraling out of control, regretting our choices. Unhappiness at its best.

The vase was originally made to sit on a lighted, revolving base, but ended up in my curio cabinet. It is lit from above and the light shines through the blue glass just as nicely.

Polymer clay canes embellish the strip spiraling around.

I built up the top of the glass vase and ruffled it out, adding an orange and yellow marbled edge.

Polymer Clay Fases Vaces #2

Fases Vace #2. Triangular heads hand sculpted from polymer clay. Bulls eye and checkerboard canes complete the embellishment.

Tomorrow is "Purple Haired Women Spiraling Out of Control".

Polymer Clay Fases Vaces #1

Fases Vace #1. Individually hand sculpted faces; no molds. I have boxes and boxes of these. Once I applied for and received the copyright on Fases Vaces (yes, purposely misspelled), I did nothing but create these.

Polymer clay is portable to a point, so I could sculpt these pretty much anywhere. I sculpted, placed the heads in a compartmentalized container and cured them when I got home.

This Fases Vace belongs to my youngest daughter, Elaine. She has graciously let me hang on to it "unofficially". Tomorrow's feature is a Fases Vace with triangular heads with multicolored features.
