Hi...
Happy Friday! Tina here today with a project that really expands how you can use your rubber stamps.
Rubber stamps are one of the most versatile products you can have in your creative stash. They are quite often the go-to for card making, scrapbooking, and mixed media backgrounds. Today, I will show you how you can use stamps with clay to create a three-dimensional, assemblage piece of art.
To be honest, I got so into making my Moon Child assemblage piece, I completely forgot to take in process pictures of each step, but no worries, it is quite easy.
Step One: Prepare and roll out clay to approx 1/4 in thick. You can use airdry clay (that is what I used for this project), or oven bake clay.).
Step Two: Gently press stamp into clay, evenly pressing the image so it creates a consistent imprint.
Step Three: Trim around image and set aside. Special note: if you will be attaching jump rings (as above), create holes in soft clay before it hardens. If you wait till the clay hardens, drilling will crack your piece.
Step Four: Allow to dry completely. Mine took about 48 hours, but I live in a very humid area.
Step Five: Paint. I used basic acrylic paints and spray mists to color my images.
I added several molded resin casts and paper elements complete her look. I really love she is unique and one-of-a-kind.
