Polymer clay acrylic paint paper copper wire

What was your inspiration?

Trying out a faux leather technique...Leather makes me think of saddles, boots & old Books. The book won.

The hand printed endpages & the all-around detail of the peice.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Don't roll your clay out too thin. The book needs some structure.

I'd love it if you'd look at the polymer clay pendant I posted today and give me your opinion...I'm afraid it's too busy. I am doing a craft show in 3 weeks and experimenting....btw are you on Facebook? You can find me there - Mary Anne Klinglesmith Flesch (long name, I know)
