JB (jbscresties.com and catharsiscomic.com) said she likes seeing “crafts gone awry” so I am posting a couple of polymer clay things that didn’t go as planned.
Â
These little guys were made of layers of colored clay, and translucent clay – then covered with a thin layer of black clay, then stamped into, then the top layer was shaved off, revealing the stamped clay color only in the inset stamp pattern. Great, complicated idea, that is just not pretty.
I may do this again sometime – but these sure did not turn out very well.

These little guys… I thought maybe paint would repair them, but it didn’t. The lizard on the far right is mokume-gane, though, not paint. The cat on the far left is still waiting on more paint but it just looks so ugly to me I don’t think paint will repair it!
But you never know – maybe someone else thinks they’re cute.
And you can still learn through experimentation, even when the experiment fails.
What do you think?
The blue bunny… did you post him somewhere else? He looks really familiar and it’s blowing my mind!
Hey, the little green-lizard fellow is neat-looking!
Yeah I posted him (the bunny) in scraps on dA.
I kind of do like the lizard on the right, but… eh.
*clamors for more posts* POST MORE POSTS, POSTY
I was going to post last night, but the internet went down at my house. I’ll see what I can do, but I hope it is back up tonight so I can upload some pictures etc.
Sorry my annoying insistence came before I got to your e-mail about your internet being broken XD
I think you’re being over-critical of these little folk – the blue guy in particular is apt to get chuckles (which translate as accolades) from all three of my twenty-something kids.
Well I don’t; even the cute ones https://www.glimmerville.com/?page_id=152 no one wants. I have no reason to rejoice in the crappy ones.
