This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Epoxy Clay Artistry »

Instructions

The hardest part was using polyimer instead of epoxy however I just finished another one with the epoxy and it to is a shell. I love the epoxy because you can just about make anything you like as long as you mix it well enough. I also like the polymer clay because I dont have to add color to it though it takes more time conditioning. I like pargo and or apoxie for these.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

take your time, no hurry, make mistakes and laugh about them, do not sand to hard before you bake it cause it will break and or crumble- never give up and have fun. Enjoy what you do and let others say what they will as long as you are happy with who you are .. then no worries. Laughing is much better for you than anger or crying though a good rage makes for great paintings at times.. :) happy monday.
