| some early pieces for my Steampunk series |
 |
| mainly checking out some underglazes, I like the Deco Butter creamy colour.. |

| my stamp moulds are a bit messy. I have used a surform to get rid of the sharp edges and will use wet & dry sandpaper in water to smooth off more. The cylinder on the left will be carved into and used as a rolling stamp. | | |

Great results, your underglazes came out shiny. Are your stamps bisque ? That's a whole lot of carving to do. I have never made any stamps but only have used found objects.
Hi Linda, check my Facebook page and you will see I made the moulds with plaster after preparing the clay with the texture and using tea bag boxes and toilet rolls as cottles. Sorry I got out of context here. The pendants have been glazed with a clear 1200 degree C glaze, lightly applied so not shiny all over. Thanks for visiting and I'll keep in mind that not everyone sees both my blog and Facebook pages.
Hi Anna,
Nice results and I love the stamps, I have a fetish for stamps I like the toilet roll idea :-)
Thanks Kim :^) the slimmer cylinder was made using a paper towel roll. Stronger too so I needed sharp scissors to take the cardboard off once the plaster had set.
