Lockhart Chronicle 4-¿Qué fue eso? – preguntó una voz grave al otro lado de la grieta.

Sara entró en pánico, pero recordó las palabras de Helena. Se apresuró en sacar la botellita que le había entregado, y la lanzó fuertemente al centro de la habitación, causando un pequeño estruendo.

-¡No respiren el gas! – exclamó la misma voz de antes.
- Adiós elemento sorpresa – susurró Sara para ella misma.

A pesar de la advertencia, se escucharon varios golpes contra el suelo. Sara desenvainó rápidamente su espada y la mantuvo alzada frente a ella. Su corazón lat

Lockhart Chronicle 3Levantó una mano para tocar la mejilla de Eva. Sí, ahí estaba: suave y cálida. Si aquello era un sueño, era un sueño muy bien logrado.

-Te extrañé tanto…

Sara se dispuso a bajar el brazo, pero éste fue interceptado por la mano derecha de Eva. Eva había tomado su muñeca y comenzaba a dar suaves besos a su mano.

-Jamás quise alejarme de ti…

Un escalofrío recorrió el cuerpo de Sara cuando se percató de lo que estaba ocurriendo. Sin embargo, se sentía incapaz de detenerlo. Sentía como si el momento la absorbiera y lo mejor era sólo dejarse llev

Lockhart Chronicle 2-¿Eso es todo? – respondió Eva tranquilamente, levantando una ceja.
-Sí, creo que eso es todo – dijo Sara con un poco de sorpresa.

Y sin decir otra palabra, Eva se dio la vuelta y se fue.

-¡Espera! – dijo Sara corriendo detrás de ella. Eva era más alta y le costaba algo de trabajo mantener su paso - ¿No vas a decir nada?
-No, no tengo nada que decirte. Ya te escuche, ¿no te basta eso?
-¡No! ¡Por supuesto que no me basta! Ya te lo dije, te estuve buscando estos años para decírtelo… ¡Ahora quiero que me contestes!

Lotus Flower and Opal Crescent Moonby ^Talty

Artisan Crafts / Jewelry / Earrings & Piercings

| Etsy | Custom Commissions | Facebook | YouTube | Polymer Clay Gallery

This is a commission I did for ~ShadowTsuki, this is her design. She wanted me to do a lotus flower and a crescent moon as stud earrings. The crescent moon has an opal effect which looks GREAT and I added a starry background, dark blue clay with silver mica

she wanted the lotus flower to fade to purple, so I painted it by hand to get that effect. The lotus flower was a big pain to make since all the petals had to be pretty much identical and it had to be made in MANY steps. I had to find a balance between accuracy and strength, I was afraid to make the petals so thin that they would break. I'm happy with how it turned out, and I hope that she'll like it too

Technical stuff: Polymer clay, the petals were painted to resemble a lotus flower, everything has a good layer of glaze for shine and added strength. Both are mounted on stainless steel studs. Each earring is 1.5 cm ~ a bit over half an inch in diameter.

oooh that's great, thank you so much

~unconventionalsenshi Jun 17, 2012

omg, I made so many typos in my comment... U_U forgive me please, it's very late (early?lol) here, and I haven't slept all night long and I'm starting to make no sense XD

~unconventionalsenshi Jun 17, 2012

Omg, the lotus... it's just fantastic

! An it all shines so nicely always. Are you using a PU glaze ( I use this one to finish off resin sometimes to enhance the gloss and it's really very awesome and glossy and never tacky

The white/translucent crescent really does resemble a natural stone

Did you put bits of holographic film/glittery flakes in it?

I recently bought some holographic glitters used typically for nail art, they arre in amny sizes and I especially like the light one I have that opalizeswith colours of the rainbow like this looks here

It is so shiny in resin when you embed it, I imagine it could be embedded in poly clay too, but never had a see-though clay, only opaque ones and that would not work that well I imagine (or it wouldn;t be able to see all chunks properly and they would only stick out in some places ) The dark blue with mica(sky) looks so nice too, I thought it's blue glitter for a sec

Thank you!

What is PU glaze? I don't even know what glaze I'm using now, it's something made here in Mexico. I used to use Triple Thick but it dried out so I went looking for something new and found this.

Yup I used holographic glitter flakes, and I used liquid clay for that

regular clay is too opaque and it would have hidden the glitter. I really love the effect!

~unconventionalsenshi Jun 26, 2012

I see

Oh, PU, it means it is chamically based upon PU- polyurethane

Triple Thick is acrylic-based, and usually decoupage glosses are acrylic

I pay attention to that, because, depending on what is the gloss/varnish/glue made of, you know how it will behave later (after years) or when it contacts other chemicals (such as solvents, or when you want to remove grease from them or dirt or such , you gotta know if the alcohol or substance you're using is safe for the gloss or not and if it will dissolve or ruin it

)
Acrylic varnishes are very good, I have one of my own, they are quick to dry and can mask the surface nicely

But I have learned that they have many disadvantages too U_U For example, when the surface you glazed is very smooth to begin with, the acrylic will not bond as well as PU and when rubbed a lot with finger under water, it will come off as a sort of film

(I did tests). Also, acrylic is basically forming a film, which is great but not definite (for exemple when used on PP or PE plastic objects, after it is all dry and turned from milky to transparent, if you poke a lot, you can remove it, as a film-like layer

cuz it will not adhere well to plastics nor resins that much)

But then again, I'm sure it depends on what surfaces one is glazing

I'm not a polymer clay expert, but probably acrylic works very well with it, and paper too (since it's widely used for protecting decoupage images *_*). And PU is more like a stinky, stonger varnish, as it is used widely for covering wooden furniture for example and can be bought in hardware store. It is dry to the touch after 30 minutes and completely hardened uasually after 24 hrs, but once there, you will not ever move it (unless you use a particular solvent) and the coating is much harder then acrylic, too ! (especially noticable when using a few coats) So I really like both types, but for gloss I appreciate PU the most!

When decoupaging inkjet prints, I think acrylic is best to protect the ink first for example (the solvent in PU will probably 'move' the ink and destroy the image if applied right away, as it tends to act like a dilutant for colour dyes too), but when you put a few coats of acrylic first, and then PU, you get a protection of ink first and safe finish later

(I hope at least, will see after time

). I never checked if PU works on polymer clay, but PU is a polymer too, so I guess it should work with it as well

I love the glittery blue background of the moon, and that lotus flower is pure awesome.
