queen Kat on Tuesday with Crayola Model Magic!
The first picture is of Luna. This is so easy a kid can do it, literally. Take a small hand full of Crayola Model Magic and using a polymer clay roller or dowel, roll it out to about 1/8″. While it is still soft stamp the image into the clay using Memento Tuxedo black in.
Then, using your copic markers color the image just like you would on paper, just be sure to use a light touch. Sketch markers work best. When blending colors, don’t push into the clay or you’ll create dimples.
Next, using your heat gun, and a non-stick craft mat or release foil, heat the image, it will start to bubble up a bit and don’t forget to turn it over. I put a hole in the top of Luna so she can be a necklace, she would be totally great as a medallion or pin embellishment for a dream journal.
Once the image is completely dry (you will have to heat the front and back) use some Crystal lacquer and seal it. Place it aside to dry. I didn’t not use a thick coat and it still took nearly 2 hours to dry.
This is just such a fun project. I bought 2 gallons of the crayola stuff from my local craft store. You don’t even have to do the math on this one. A four ounce container was $4.00. A two gallon container was $22.00 minus my 40% off coupon. That is value my friend.
Go visit Queen Kat and try these wonderful fun techniques.
