Paperclay Art Angel ornaments

 

Art angel ornaments

Handmade angel ornaments made from paper clay. They look like cookies!  I rolled out the paper clay and laid my printed angels out on top.  Using a knife, I cut around the images leaving a little border.  I didn’t realize that the clay shrinks as it dries so next time I will leave more room.  Luckily I remembered to poke some holes for the wires beforehand too.  It took a long time for the clay to harden up, over a week.  Then I painted the dried clay with permanent ink so they would be colorful.  Glued on my images with mat medium and coated with matte medium and matte varnish for a finished look.  Then came the wires and sweet little glass pearl beads.
