Bunnies Everywhere!!

Hi, there!! Carole here with a great new product to tell you about that you can pair with Creative Paperclay materials. It's ComposiMold, a mold-making material that can be re-melted and re-used.

To begin, anchor your original piece in a mold box. I used a one pint deli container as my mold box, and used a strong glue dot to anchor my original. I liberally coated the original piece and the interior of the mold box with a mold release agent, then sprayed everything with a bubble reduction agent. Both of these agents are available in the ComposiMold online store.

Next, I melted my ComposiMold in the microwave in 30 second intervals until it was completely liquefied. I used a wooden craft stick to stir the ComposiMold between each microwave session. Then, I slowly poured the melted ComposiMold over the original. I found that pouring slowly down the side of the mold box helped to reduce bubbles. Here's my partially filled mold.

Now, you have to wait a bit for the mold to solidify. Here's a picture of my completed mold with the original removed.

I cast my little bunny using both Creative Paperclay® and Delight™. After sanding, I finished the Creative Paperclay® bunny by painting with white pearlized acrylic paint. I used mica powder to tint the inside of the ears. and a dot of black acrylic paint for the eye. 

I finished the Delight™ bunny by tinting the inside of the ears with mica powder, painting the eyes with a dot acrylic paint, then coating the entire bunny with USArtQuest's Duo Adhesive. Duo dries clear, and is just tacky enough to hold the glitter that I coated it with. I think it looks like a sugary peep ;) 

Here's my whole litter of bunnies—just in time for Easter!!

Jess B's - Spring Bunny is coming!

Hello Everyone

Here is a fun little Easter wall decor

I made with Delight^TM

making beautiful colors of spring

anticipating Easter eggs, baskets, and oodles of candy

 

with latex gloves, I cut Delight^TM into 5 sections

placed a dollop of paint and mixed together

rolled out the Delight^TMand used mini cookie cutters 

 they dry instantly with a soft foamy texture

I applied to a wooden petal shaped wall hanging

from the dollar store

I also used Creative Paperclay®

for the bunny to give it more dimension

The girls asked me to hang this on their bedroom

door. It made them smile!

This is a great easter basket stuffer
You have to try Delight^TM

it's a wonderful product and the children can also

have fun making their own craft.

WAIT!!!

One package has mysteriously disappeared...

I wonder who took it? 

Happy Easter
