Description Woah, here I go playing with textures again. It's texture overload! Not sure if I like this one. I did have fun making it though. It is black polymer clay on a 6" square ceramic tile. All the textures were made by hand using just a couple of tools. Can you guess which ones? Added a few glass gems and found objects and brushed on lots of powdered pigments. I was testing colors I have never used before. The russet is wonderful!
Anyhoo, here it is in all it's metallic glory.

Here is a link to my Etsy shop if you are interested [link]

Nice to see those inchies you worked so hard on garnered PCD's attention.
Could you have used a Sculpey 5-in-1 for the hammered effect? The circles with dots could have been made with a pen cap and a poker.

MandarinMoon In reply to KwasiRa [2013-07-09 23:33:10 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! You are close. I used Sculpey Style and Detail tools. I love those things. Someone here on dA recommended them and they are wonderful! The circles were made with a drinking straw. I also used another clay tool that looks a bit like an ice pick.

I need to get a set of those. My 5 in 1 only has one size ball and I'd like smaller ones.
You do get maximum use out of your tools.

it looks beautiful
as for the tools my guesses are
A paint brush's non brush end
one looks lite you used a bead reamer
the circles look like the metal circle that divides some of the fancy pens downs the middle
and the lines look like a flat bladed wood carver.

Thank you! I used the Sculpey Style and Detail tools, a tool that looks a bit like an ice pick, a craft knife and a drinking straw lol!

Oh heck yeah! Sometimes the strangest things make wonderful texture. Even a crumbled piece of paper!
