Work in progress

My bigger projects consist of all kinds of separate elements. It can sometimes take a long time before all parts are put together in a project. Or until I figure out how to make a certain element before I can move on to the rest of the project. Especially when I also want to incorporate technology, such as light or movement, into the project. Sometimes I get feedback that the website does not show how much work the projects are, or which steps there are in a project. Therefore, by popular request, an overview of parts of current projects, of which I have no idea yet how many elements I will make or when the project will be finished.

I try many different polymer clay techniques. This is often a combination of images, instructional videos and books, which I then add my own twist to. I never paint my projects, I like the challenge to create all colors and patterns entirely from polymer clay. To make patterns I use mixing techniques or I build 'canes'. Sometimes I use a texture mat, but almost never molds. Each tree leaf, flower or feather is therefore individually handmade. That is very time-consuming, but because all shapes are unique, the result is more natural than when an exact shape is repeated over and over. I admit you have to be a blittle bit crazy to work that way 😁.
