faux bone relics from PC

22 years ago

These are my first attempt at making faux bone artifacts after reading about it in Belle Armoire. I rushed headlong into it without reading the instructions completely. I used brown the first time and got the wooden look. Then I went with the white and translucent. "Aging" these is so much fun!

Lia, didn't you tell me one time that you made these out of paperclay? They are simply beautiful.

These are polymer clay. I hadn't thought about it, but these ancient forms would be fun to do with paperclay too!
