Hi All,
I love it when a mistake turns out to be a good find. I got too heavy handed
on an ancient bronze patina and found that it makes a rather nice jade. If you
want the surface to look matte and old, a sparse stippling of two shades of LS
and perm. green oil paint over a dark metalic gray base, does the job. If you
use a more generous amount, the colors merge a bit and look like jade. Since
the LS is self leveling, it can be sanded with 1200 grit paper and buffed to a
rich gloss.
happy claying,
Jody Bishel

I just wanted to put in here that Jody very kindly sent me one of her
wonderful dragonesque brooches (now pictured on PCC). I used to handle
and draw the real things when I worked at the British Museum and Jody's
ancient bronze patina, using Liquid Sculpey is really stunning! It's not
just the patina, either - the sculpt really has the feel of the ancient
brooches. I'll bet your jade is a real goodie, Jody!
Sue (frantically trying to catch up with her book and longing to play
with that Liquid Sculpey...)

Thanks for the compliment,Sue! I have to tell everybody that Sue very kindly
sent me one of her Celtic brooches so I could see how the cold enamel
looks-wonderful! It is transparent so you can see the texture on the clay
underneath. We'll have to try something with both techniques on it.
