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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \ud83d\ude01.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mijn grotere projecten bestaan uit allerlei losse elementen. Het kan soms lang duren voordat alle onderdelen worden samengevoegd in een project. Of tot ik heb uitgedacht hoe ik een bepaald element kan maken, voordat ik verder kan met de rest van het project.
