ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Tereza Šťastná
I have been working since my childhood and I have tried many art and handicraft activities. In 2010 I first got to know polymer clay which fascinated me with its possibilities. I have attended several courses of Czech and foreign artists that inspire my work. Creation brings me joy and relaxation from everyday worries.
HOW TO
Step 1
Condition some white clay, run it through the pasta machine on the widest setting and cut two squares the same size as LC Microstencils.
Step 2
Roll the LC Microstencil with a roller into the white square and apply some black acrylic paint. Immediately remove the Microstencil and clean the paint off the Microstencil with a wet wipe, let it dry fully.
Step 3
Take a dry Microstencil and roll it into the second white square and apply the red acrylic paint, immediately remove the template and clean it. Let the paint dry fully.
Step 4
With a cutter, cut out 2 shapes of different sizes – smaller size for the black square and a bigger size for the red one.
Step 5
Using the big cutter, cut out a corner of the smaller black square. Put both squares on a tile and bake for 20 minutes at 110°C.
Step 6
Apply some liquid polymer LC Glassymer Transparent gel and bake for 20 minutes at 110°C. Let the squares cool down.
Step 7
Apply some Polypasta to the edges of the squares. Run a long sheet of black polymer clay through the pasta machine at the medium setting. Cut a strip as wide as the thickness of the squares and wrap the shapes. Place the squares together and bake for 20 minutes at 110°C.
Step 8
Prepare a slice of black polymer clay at a medium setting, texture it with a texturing sponge. Apply Polypasta over the backside, put it on the sheet, cut out with a scalpel.
Step 9
Place the brooch bridge, cover it with a rectangle, press it. Bake for 30 minutes at 130°C.
Good luck and enjoy it!
