Tämä massa on tosi ongelmallista minulle! Ensimmäisessa paistossa vartalo vähän tummeni... toisessa paistossa se tummeni vielä lisää! Ja kädet ovat vaaleammat. Pinnassa on myös jotain outoja tummia laikkuja, ihan kuin siveltimen jälkiä. (Siveltimellä tasoitan pinnan, mutta ei ne normaalisti näy!) Luulen joko pinnan siloitukseen käyttämäni voide reagoi tämän massan kanssa paistossa, tai sitten uunissa on jotain ruuan paistosta jääneitä jämiä, jotka sitoutuivat massan pintaan. Tosi omituista, tätä ei ole koskaan tapahtunut Creall-Thermin kanssa, jota yleensä käytän. (Ja kyllä, käytän kahta lämpömittaria jotka olen testannut...) Hioin tummia läikkiä vähän, siksi pinta näyttää nyt tosi omituiselta.
No, joka tapauksessa aion tehdä hänet loppuun, ja pitää keksiä keino saada iho tasaväriseksi ja vaaleaksi... en anna vielä periksi ja tee hänestä tummaihoista!
Oh boy I am having troubles with this clay! She baked a bit dark in the first bake, and in the second bake her torso and head baked even more darker... the arms are lighter. Also she has some weird dark marks, like brushmarks on her. I think either the clay reacted with the lotion I use to smooth her, or there was some residue in the oven, from baking food, that somehow got to her "skin". Really weird, and this has never ever happened before with the other clay I usually use. (And yes, I use two tested thermometers...) I have sanded the marks a bit, that's why she looks so weird now.
Well, I still will finish her and I will have to come up with a way to make her skin uneven, and light! I don't want to give up and make this a brown fairy!
Ruskeat kaverukset
Ja koko nalleporukka! (tässä on pari edelliseltä kurssiltakin, kun oli samoja oppilaita taas mukana.)
Cuddly bears from yet another teddybear class! Eager students made lovely fluffy bears, here they are! (A couple of bears in the group photo are from the class before, there were few same students now and they had their bears with them.)
Happy Valentine's Day for lovers, friends, dear and beloved people! I got roses...
The fairy got boots, so her feet won't be cold in the freezing winter weather.
Today I painted again another fairy on my daughter's green room, from a picture my daughter choosed. She is a graceful fairy dressed in pink, dancing among the roses. My little girl's eyes sparkled happily, when she sighed in her bed: "the first night with the new fairy".
