Photopolymer Goodness

I'm so excited my package of goodies arrived today! I've ordered a few more tools, more clay (woo whoo!) and a Photopolymer Kit. Uh oh...wait..a what?!

Photopolymer Plate Kit! This will allow me to use an image and turn it into something similar to a rubber stamp; for use as a texture or design on my clay. This is great since now I can take my own drawings and turn them into these texture plates. I love to doodle and draw, and the majority of my pieces are sketched out before I even start creating them. I've been reading up on these a lot lately, and I'm rather nervous because it sounds like there's a lot of trial into learning how to work with these at first. I foresee a lot of messy first tries!

My hubby and I went over to Lowes after my physical therapy, and I got a lamp to use with the kit. It takes a normal 60w lamp, and the only ones we have are in the bedroom and are upright lamps that wouldn't reach over the plates. I'll post more on these once I'm done experimenting.

Curious about my current PMC works? You can check out this page here for a sneak peek of my original Hugin & Munin pendant. These feathery guys aren't done yet. I intend to add Aura22 and give it a proper polishing. I'll post a finish picture after completion!

Have a great day!!
