First three days

Finally I have organized my flickr site to include the things from the first three days.
The Day One will be for a snowflake trade that I am part of - although it turned out a bit more random than I had planned.
I had started making a crocheted sculptural form, after looking at the crocheted reef project, ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/84445194@N00/sets/72157594407472295/ ) but when my daughter saw it, she asked if it was a beanie. So it became one. Disclaimer: it isn’t as mathematically precise as this coral, being designed on the wing.
The little face charms for Day three took quite a bit of experimenting to get right. I was given some leftover acrylic circles and wanted to see how the liquid sculpey interacted. In order to avoid air bubbles the painted face, in this case water color crayons on cotton poplin, must be stuck down with the LPC and baked once, then covered and baked again. I did a sand and second layer, baking again (third time) before using some water based gloss varnish. I will say the LPC skews the colors to the yellow spectrum.
