Hello Hello :)
Welcome to the First Stage of the StencilGirl and Colourcraft Blog Hop
Welcome to the First Stage of the StencilGirl and Colourcraft Blog Hop
Today I would like to share with you a flower inspired clay plate and bowl set.
The petals are represented by the Zinnia stencil printed plate and the centre of the flower [the stamens] by the crackle stencil printed bowl.
I first created the plate and bowl using air hardening modelling clay [product link below]. Using a rolling pin to imprint the StencilGirl stencil patterns in to the clay.
I first sealed the plate and bowl with Finnabar Heavy Gesso. When this was dry I applied a coat of Colourcraft black drawing ink, [product link below]. This was dried off using a heat tool and then buffed back with a wet wipe to leave some remnants of black ink to highlight the flower pattern.
I then sprinkled on some of the Turquoise Brusho [product link below], moistened it with a spray of water and then spread the Brusho over the plate, and allowed to partially dry.
I then buffed back some of the turquoise brusho with a wet wipe. I then sprinkled on some of the sea green brusho [product link below] moistened it with water, and then spread it over the plate.
When the plate was dry I applied a wash of Colourcraft white drawing ink[product link below], I worked the ink over the plate with a wet wipe, this helped to tone down and combine the two brusho colours.
To highlight the StencilGirl Stencilled Zinnia pattern I drew over it with the black drawing ink, and buffed it back with a wet wipe. This same process was used for the bowl, except in the inside of the bowl I didn't apply the white ink. I applied black ink to highlight the pattern of the stencil to represent the dark stamens of a flower.
The last image you can see in the above picture collage is of a jug made by Australian Artist Merric Boyd, it is the colour inspiration for my project.

Love that Zinnia stencil, and love this technique. I have so many stencils, it's always great to see new ways of using them.
Very cool process! Something else I need to play with - I've never tried air hardening clay but it looks super simple!
thanks for the suggestion of
using the stencil on the clay.
Wouldn't have thought that would
work. This piece is a work of
art and would look fantastic
anywhere in the house.
