Air Dry Modeling Compound ~ aka Paper Clay

Martha Stewart Silicone molds and paper clay make fast and fun embellishments.  I thought I'd try the 4 piece kit of leaves, fern, butterflies and flowers. 



You twist the molds and carefully release the pieces and leave 24 hours to dry/cure.  Some paint brushes and simple watercolour paints and you have some 3d embellishments for your layouts.  This is only one coat of paint.  I used inks for the leaves. The fern leaf is very fragile and breaks easily.

Using Everyday Things Around the Home

Saw this on Quilting Daily's newsletter and, of course, I had to try it.   You take a whole head of celery and slice about an inch off the end, slicing as evenly as you can.   Ink the celery and stamp a rose!
