Green and yellow mixed media brooch

This statement piece has been created from polymer clay, and features bass rubes.. The brooch measures 8.5 x 6 cm and has a fully enclosed brooch back.

Polymer clay is a type of hardenable modeling clay with the consistency of plasticine it its raw state. It is cured in an oven, then sanded, and may be finished by polishing and buffing, or coating with a glaze.

As polymer clay is PVC based, it is light and durable to wear. As all plastics, it does soften slightly if it gets overly warm, so I do not advise putting buttons in hot water or a clothes dryer.

I use Kato Poly Clay as I have found the colours more intense and it is more durable when baked.
