"Shades of Grey" Pendant & More

Shades of Grey Pendant by Cindi McGee

Love & Lace... Hearts..... Valentine's..... Love......."50 Shades of Grey"..... ???

I created this pendant with some of the fabulous goodies in the January "Love & Lace" Create Along Box! I used the lace Color Me Magic Transfer Paper, and the lace stencil. premo! Sculpey® clay was used to create the Skinner Blend, premo! Accents for the silver, and Sculpey® Clear Liquid Clay to add shine. The box also included shimmering pink mica powder, a heart cutter, a silkscreen, more great Transfer Paper options, a piece of vintage lace and a brand new item offered by Create Along - a Deco Disc! I've been having fun creating with many of the items in the box, including these two pieces. The heart cutter (along with more fabulous silkscreens and Magic Transfer Paper designs from Create Along) was used for the bohemian heart pendant below, and the Deco Disc was used for a mandala pendant she will be sharing soon!

Learn how to create with polymer clay Pan Pastels and punchinella stencils

Stenciling is one of my favorite techniques to do with polymer clay and also mixed media. It is super easy to do and you get such beautiful results. I love to experiment with different ways to add color to my pieces. In this episode of Polymer Clay TV I show how to use our new punchinella stencils. They come in a set of 4 different designs and you can see all the beautiful designs at this link. http://bit.ly/1Bgv2bb

This is an example I made using the flower punchinella on black clay with Pan Pastels,
I show this technique in today's video.
