Day 17 – Abstraction

This is Day 17 of my 100 Days of Wall Art project. You can learn more about my 100 Day Project here.

About this Piece

Today was a busy day! Dick the Cat came to spend some time at Grandma’s house because my daughter will be traveling to a conference. And that meant we had a lovely day spent talking with her. I loved my kids as babies, but they’re so much more fun as adults. I never want her to leave!

I got this started before she arrived. It is made with scrap clay, and I just started mixing colors and playing with color as I essentially wiped the softened polymer clay “paint” on the “canvas”. I wasn’t sure what to do with it next, but after my daughter left and I had a chance to look at it again, I realized it was done. I did consider adding a gold something in the center as a focus. But I realized it was unnecessary. It’s enough on its own. Not everything has to be a pretty picture of something. Sometimes it’s okay to just be pretty.

TUTORIAL

Make one-of-a-kind patterns to use in your polymer clay projects. The tutorial illustrates this via an earring project.

Construction Details

I’ll share progress pics and how-to information in each day’s post in the 100 Days Section of Blue Bottle Insiders. You can see all my projects (so far!), along with those of dozens of other members who are posting their daily projects as well. You can join Insiders here.
