More Carved Cuff Bracelets

I can't seem to get enough of the carved cuff bracelet tutorial of Ms. Rocky Villegas-Antonio. Last weekend, I decided to try my hand in creating cuff bracelets.


For my first creation, I used the leaves and vines push mold. I just read the Percy Jackson book series so I was very much inspired by Greek mythology in naming this piece. I called it Demeter's Garden. I used translucent clay with alcohol inks and acrylic paints.

For my second creation, I named this Monoliths. I used the Tribal faces push mold to form the black clay and finished it with inka gold cream paints.

 Would be making a lot more of these over the Holy Week vacation!

Saturday Claying Day

I have been a very busy bee today and finished projects. I also got the chance to try out Ms. Rocky Villegas-Antonio's Carved Cuff technique. Since I only got 3 sets of push molds, I tried to maximize what I have. (Note to self: Hoarding of clay supplies should include more push molds hahaha!)  I used translucent clay, applied with alcohol inks, then added patina after baking. 


And here's the finished item:

Although I should have used less alcohol inks. Oh well, maybe next time.


Here's the link to the tutorial so that you can try it out:
