How to apply future polish on your clay art pieces

I have used different kinds of glazing liquid on my clay pieces, each of them gave me  different results. When I first used the future polish (in our country it is called "Pledge wipe and shine" floor polish) I didn't like the way it turned out. That's because I was applying it the wrong way. At first,  I used cotton buds and soft bristle paint brush, dipped into the liquid and applied it on my art pieces. It gave me that shine but with the mark of strokes from applying the liquid with cotton buds and soft brush. So what better way to apply it? Well, I thought of pouring some of the liquid into a bowl and immerse my clay art pieces. I used dry tip cotton bud and dabbed  excess liquid lightly without rubbing it off and dried it with a hair dryer at the lowest setting by moving the hair dryer to and fro against the clay. It turned out wonderful. Here are some samples of  my experiment.

Forgotten things may turn into a piece of art

White doted flower with coconut shell beads necklace

I have these coconut shell beads sitting in my bead box for a very long time. One day, as I went through my things, I saw these wonderful beads.  I sat in my chair for quite sometime holding my bead box and thinking of how can I use these for my clay jewelry? So I looked inside my polymer clay art pieces organizer and saw this green flower pendant I made which was also sitting for quite awhile in my organizer, and I just thought, since they are both sitting around why not combine them. So I did. So glad that I do not have the habit of throwing things away. Things that we may thought have no use at the moment may actually be useful someday and may make a wonderful piece of art.

Summer is definitely here!

I just learned that wire wrapping is one way to enhance your clay projects and it makes a good jewelry design.

I really love this egyptian inspired necklace, the colors are blending well and it is it gives me a sense of calm.

Black and white are the colors that never goes out of style.

Encapsulated beads. I have these three leftover flower canes and I didn't know what to do with it, until I had an idea to turn it into a bracelet encapsulating it in resin.

Three of Kind. These beads are made from the ends of a cane.
