Description This is a handpainted blank book that I've decorated with polymer clay and aqua and green iridescent glass gems. I placed a bit of foil behind each gem and the reflected light makes the gems glow...really cool effect!

Now, when you make these, do you bake the clay first and then attach it to the book, or do you attach it first and then bake it?

MandarinMoon In reply to TheSeaKnight [2009-03-07 03:08:56 +0000 UTC]

For this type of book, I make the polymer clay plaque separately and once it is cooled and painted I glue it to the book.
