Well ok, so you can see these arent moulds of anything. I have used the silver version of art clay before, this is fairly different. Plus the fact i forgot to get any slik or bagder balm to coat my hands and tools. Ah well experiementing is fun as i said before.
Well they didnt look so errrr body waste like when they were wet and i was working with them. They are ment to be simple rolls of metals, which, funnily enough is what they will end up as. Part of an idea i've had for a while now based around scrap metal.
Well anyway, ignoring the fact they look like turds, overall i'm happy with my first copper clay play at this stage. Having left them to dry overnight, and seen them this morning, my initial idea was to leave them as they are. But i may well sand the main flat sections smooth and just leave the edges ripped and torn. A little bit of contrast i thought, as if they fire ok i will patina them and buff and bristle brush the flat surfaces so they are a matt smooth and the edges/insides are 'aged' and a bit rough....like me really lol.
They may not fire too well, as everything i've read about this new clay indicates minor issues with getting them to sinter 'the metal bonding basically' using a torch. Ah well as i keep saying 'experiementing is fun' i have a feeling thats going to be put on my headstone hahaha.
