Fun with Terra Cotta Clay

As you can see, I work a lot with Terra Cotta Polymer Clay.  I love the rich color and how my finished creations look whether I have put a shiny finish on them or not.   I buy the large boxes of this clay at Michaels, but only if I have a coupon for the discount.  Here are some that I have made using this wonderful clay.

Cat Vase and Mouse

Wrapped in a Blanket

Ready for the Weather

Birdie in the Birdbath

Fairy House

 Garden Angel

Matchbox

Love Birds

You can find all of these listed in my shop:

Incredible Hand Art by Guido Daniele Featuring His Handimals.

If you haven't seen Guido Daniele's Handimals, you are in for a treat.  

Guido Daniele is an award-winning artist from Soverato, Italy. Born in 1950, Daniele lives and works in Milan. Over his 40+ year career, Guido has done both commercial/advertising work as well as group and solo exhibitions around the world.

In 1990 he began to explore and experiment with body and hand painting. By having his models contort their body into specific positions, he could use his painting skills to create incredibly realistic portraits and scenes onto a living canvas. The inclusion of the human body added a new element to his work and Guido would continue to explore this new direction.

In 2000 he created his world-renowned ‘Handimals‘ series (advertising | art) that saw him paint highly detailed and realistic animals onto hands in various positions. Through manipulation and creativity, Guido masterfully takes the same starting ‘canvas’ and is able to transform it into seemingly any animal he desires. The outcomes are truly amazing.
