hey y'all this is Sitki's husband

I really liked the project when my wife showed me the picture and we are in the same position as everyone else... renting = no painting = no fun.

anyway when we went into town we picked up tons of paint chips from a couple of places and made a small project on a skinny wall we had



Then she thought out loud we could do cool stuff with this in a mosaic, instantly (being a nerd) 8-bit came to mind and a nano second later mario brothers and the 1-up mushroom popped in my head


(I put the 8.5x11 sheet to show relative size)

the next project is a 11 squares wider and 17 taller but I think it'll be awesome, it'll be 1800 squares , and it'll have the same background



and our roommate wants the duck hunt dog with a duck in his hand... so that'll be next

anyways... after all that, THANKS A BUNCH for doing your project and posting it for the rest of us... it's been a lot of fun!!

yeah, I did use acrylic paint to finish them. I like them, but I think I can do a better job at it, so I think I'll post what I come up with next. I love your polyclay site, it's very helpful. I've used it several times. 

Diane-thanks for posting a link to that tutorial, I wasn't sure how I should go about explaining it. I used TLS and a magazine picture. I've had some trouble getting all the paper fibers off though, and I soak it in hot water for awhile first after baking. Any tips?

Doesn't it though? I find a lot of faces in this type of bead...

A few more attempts at this type of bead. It's hard to get the effect you want, but these ones escaped being squished into scrap clay. My second pic transfer pendant. I love it, but haven't found a way I like to wear it yet, so it's been sitting in my bead box all lonely.

This is my first go at trying to create a stone look that actually works. A couple of these were s'pose to look like stone, but ended up looking like old clay beads. I guess it works.

That's too cute. I like her use of complementary colors too! Already thinking like an artist.

I got my package from fishiegopook! Wonderful lovely stuff! Will post pics as soon as my bf comes home so he can work the confusing camera.

If you could find a way to attach the plastic clock window to your purse fabric, you could. Is there some sort of super-strong glue that would work?

This is SO cool! I love funky stuff like this.

Cool stuff! I like the candy corn and donut earrings.
