Here's a peek at something I just finished. This chicken and egg are PaperClay on a wood base.
This item will be available on the next A Time for Primitives update on Sept. 1st.
I have completely fallen in love with PaperClay and simply cannot stop using it! There are so many things that I can create that I could never have done with my sewing machine.
For years, I've wanted a Kiln and have belabored over which one to buy, should I buy gas or electric...
But recently a ceramics artist told me to stick with PaperClay for what I'm doing. It's more durable than fired clay and easier to work with. I do know that this stuff can take a real beating! I can't begin to tell you how many things I've dropped in the process of creation, and yet they are completely unharmed (and I've had a couple pieces take some really hard falls!). This is one tough egg to crack!

If given a choice between only being able to ever have either paperclay or chocolate again..I would have to go with Paperclay. It would KILL me to give up chocolate but I just cannot imagine never having paperclay in my life! I am sooo addicted. cool piece btw..I love me some chickens!
I looked at this piece and just laughed...the egg looked more pained than the poor chicken it came from!!!

I love PAPER CLAY! Did carve wood, until my shoulder decided I shouldn't. Now I "carve" styrofoam, then cover with Paper Clay. Someone told me foil works well, but I haven't tried it. Haven't tried baking the Paper Clay either. Just use a fan and a room dehumidifer. Your work is so fun! Great inspirtion! Thanks for the hint of the gesso. I can never decide if I need to or not. But the paint goes on much better. PJ
