Since I was somewhat recently introduced to Lumina Clay, I’ve been experimenting with flowers, but I hope to start working with other subjects as I become more familiar with the clay. Looking through my older work at camillecampos.com has inspired me to vary my work more.
I’ve started combining the strengths of different materials to better translate my ideas into my art. For example, Lumina is durable and flexible when thin, but Sculpy can create such interesting effects and lends itself better to sculpture. Resin is my third material of choice and as it is very strong, may be painted, sanded, and used along with a mold.
Here is a necklace I’ve just finished. I’m not sure if I’m entirely happy with how it came out, but it was a valuable experiment.
Here are the original paper clay pieces. It was a little tricky setting these up to be made into a necklace, because I couldn’t test it out as a whole until I cast it in resin as the original pieces were too delicate.
I decided to go with a one part mold for simplicity.
I sanded away the excess and painted them and the cord that would tie it all together. I also added several ranunculus flowers sculpted from Lumina, and chose complementary colors to make it all stand out.
This is absolutely gorgeous. Wow!
It’s absolutely gorgeous. I would really love to purchase that necklace. What are the dimensions?
This necklace is amazing… great job
Beautiful! Now I can see why you use Lumina- the ranunculus blooms are fantastic. Was the mold made from Lumina And the final pieces from Sculpty or resin or Lumina?
In my discovery I had very good results making molds using Sculpey mold maker and plastic air fresheners for the patterns. Mold maker is a bit expensive but the resulting molds are flexible and very durable- I just throw them in my polymer toolbox.
After seeing your leaves & flowers necklace I almost want to try Lumina.
