".... unless you count being beautiful on the inside as being magical and that he was"
Without question Joyce, the best magic comes from those who culture it inside with great care and love. This magic is beautiful and promotes harmony.
That is a beautiful job. you have given me a new Idea for my next Polymer Clay work. I love to make Fairy Tail Figures.

- Hi Joyce,
If you do use a sandblaster, your etching will be alot more satisfying. You can trust me on that one-way better than cream etching. Does he have a pressure pot sandblaster or a siphon feed sandblaster? If you have a pressure pot sandblaster, the cool things you can do with it are even more impressive like sandcarving.
Let me know if you have any questions about it. Just post a question about this on my wall and I hope to see your etching someday. I want to be able to post other people that etch glass on my glass etching blog soon. And if you'd like to be recognized for your work, I'd love to build up a community of etchers. Take care and let me know if you have questions.

- Hi Joyce : i thought i will let everybody know about my latest work.
I am very happy with the ressults!I think that painting the leaves with an airbrush is the way to go if i want to get a realistic look.
of course i had to buy a compressor and the air brush,but perhaps your husband owns a compressor and you only have to buy an airbrush from supercheap auto at around $49!!!!and you are set.
whenever you come to WA Perth i will be happy to show you some more work and tell you my "secrets".
I mixed my paste with Meire Bari's one and got a flexible clay that made it much better.
And lastly Thank you for your comment,
by the way this branch will be on display from saturday until the 15 dec at Monet Gallery in south Guildford during the heritage festival.
have a look in youtube for artistic gelatine.
regards

I just remembered that while looking for clay flower supplies online, awhile ago (a favorite pastime!), that I came across a site in Australia that sells a clay that is like the Luna Clay/Thai Clay. Their site is www.pattyclayflowers.com. From the description of the Pattyclay they provide it seems it is just like Luna/Thai clay and remains flexible when dry. Thery also have cutters and veiners etc for sale. Just thought I'd pass the info on to you if you would like to give the clay a try. If you do, let me know how it is and how it works for you.
Thanks,
Ron

- Hi Joyce,
Thank you for your compliments on the flowers. Sorry to hear about the Luna clay being unavailable and cost prohibitive (to ship) in Australia...it is my favorite for flower making. As far as a comparison with cold porcelain - in the soft state it is very similar to the commercially made cold porcelain I have tried. However, when it dries it remains flexible which is what I like. If you roll out a thin sheet in the pasta machine, when it dries the sheet is almost like a piece of vinyl. The cold porcelain, when dry, is stiff and hard which I suppose is fine for some things. I've also experienced some cracking with the porcelain. The Luna clay flowers are not quite as fragile and after assembly you can still reshape or position the petals/leaves etc. The Makins' Clay I have yet to try although I have read that it's formulation was based on the Luna/Thai type clays. I suppose I should try a bit and maybe I can make a comparison for you. Some artists mix Thai clay with the Luna clay but I find that this also leaves the clay less flexible and a bit harder when dry. Also, seems each batch I purchase (Luna) works a bit differently...sometimes it's a bit softer (this is good for coating wires to support leaves/petals and making stems) and other times a bit firmer...age may have something to do with that. If too soft I leave it out in the air for awhile and then knead to a good working consistency. I hope this info helps. Any other questions, please feel free to contact me. Happy flower making!
Regards,
Ron
