Reflections on Tiny Pieces of Art

Last week, a friend of mine had asked me to do a small piece of art, something new to look at in her cubicle. She did remind me she only had a small for her personal things.

So to begin, I found a 3"x3" canvas and some small round mirrors.





To start I use several colors of ESF Generation Green Shimmers to paint the background of the canvases.






I know I didn't have to frame these pieces of art so I just extended the ESF shimmers around the sides of the canvas.
When the ESF shimmers were dry check placement of the mirrors and decided were you wanted to go from there. Looking for some movement in the piece sketch in more lines with a permanent marker.I knew this was nice, but I could do better.


I took out some black Makin's Polymer air dry clay and ultimate extruder and began extruding out several lengths of coils both thick and thin.
I glued the coils to the canvas with white glue in a small toothpick.




I took another piece of black Clay and cut out several circles making donuts and dots and glued them to the piece in the same manner.
When the clay and the glue were dry I brushed on ESF shimmers over the whole piece which made everything come together if you want to you could add Words or sayings.
Remember to make it your own with Earth Safe Finishes.
