Day 5/ Switch plate

I made this by overlaying fimo clay over an existing switch plate.  I then rubber stamped it, rubbed Pearl Ex pigments over it and then popped it in the oven. Voila!

• I like this! It looks like metal. What color was the Fimo originally?

• I mixed one part silver with one part black- instant metal!
  This was the easiest thing I’ve made yet. About 10 minutes to condition, roll and stamp and then 20 minutes to bake.

• Copy away.
  Plastic switch plates are SO boring!

• Gorgeous. The way it scanned in is really appealing - makes me think it might be fun to do another specifically with the intent of being scanned in - maybe to become a desktop wallpaper, or a print or something.
