One hour before going to work at the American legion I decided that I needed some patriotic jewelry. Just like me, waiting to till the last minute! So a quick trip to the studio should do the trick. A look around and I was drawn to my clay, a pack of red, white and blue. Okay, now what, this needs to be quick. Ah, a star cookie cutter, I rolled out a double thick #1 sheet of blue and one white, cut two white stars, then cut two 1" x 1" squares of blue, cut two stars right in the center, removed the blue stars and discarded. I then placed the white stars in the blue holes. Carefully combined the two together, matching up lines. Reduced then multiplied to a 4 star cane. Reduced again.
I then made a striped red and white cane. I wanted to be able to combine the two into different patterns so I left them separate. I then placed slices on scrap clay, smoothed, then cut out shape using a template that I made from the heart punch.
Here are links to the supplies that I used; pendant blank and cernit polymer clay.
Including baking I did this in under 40 minutes! a new person best.
