Beaded Clay Faces


A while ago I mentioned making some polymer clay faces following this tutorial. I finally got the art doll face mould I was after and these are the ones I've made so far!There are also some using the character doll face mould I got as well. All are made using Sculptey.


This is using one of the smaller Character faces using flesh coloured sculptey covered in gold acrylic with larger pearlescent red beads, red seed beads and silver lined silver black beads.
This is another one of the tiny character faces in flesh coloured sculptey. Larger beads are in peacock colours and some green seed beads.
This is a "green man" made using another of the character face moulds with flesh coloured scupltey covered in green acrylic. There are two different sizes of green seed beads and three different shades of metallic leaf beads.

This is one of the art doll faces. I really love the shape so have made several of them. This is black sculptey and red beads.
This is flesh coloured sculptey with matt orange larger seed beads and two rows of some bronze coloured seed beads.
This is purple sculpty (it has glitter in it because I'd used mica silver sculptey earlier and some was still on my fingers.)With purple lustre beads and silver lined black seed beads.

I am really pleased with these and plan to make some more!Hope you enjoy looking at them!

mmMMmmm - the black ones would make terrific buttons on something nouveua inspired.

Is sculpey similar to fimo?

Elizabet said...

sculpey is the same thing as fimo. Its the new softer version made by the same people and much easier to work with.

Want me to make you some?Shall have to work out how to do shanks but i could experiment...

Wow, you've come along way since the first go around. They are looking very nice. Also, would you post your E-bay site info?

Elizabet said...

Thanks Gerry, I've emailed you my ebay details.

Thanks. I do seem to be improving. It does just seem to take a bit of practice.

I found this blog through google. I was trying to figure put what Sculptey was and I came across your craft project...
You really inspired me!
I'm from Italy, I've seen Fimo here, not too sure on the Sculptey.

I will definately return to see your other projects!

Thanks!
