Winning color combination

Hello,
 Last week, I posted a poll below my blog page about which color goes well with red. My options were orange, white, blue and violet. The winning color goes to white, with three votes against orange with 2 votes. First I'd like to thank those who took time to vote. I really appreciate it. It is red and white then and so I made a simple jewelry with that color combination. Here it is...

I used skinner blend technique here to form this elegant red and white beads.

This is a twisted earrings.

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.

I use my flower stamp into the black clay, dab some of my old eyeshadow and some copper metallic leaf. I cut it in three parts and make it look like a wall picture frame.
