Polymer Paintings

I cut or tear repeated shapes out of the blended sheet of clay. I either replaced these on the original sheet or I place them on another one.   Next I put the new sheet   through a wide pasta machine or an intaglio printing press. This causes the patterns to be stretched and distorted. Next I draw designs on the wet clay.   I cure it at 250 degrees.   When it has cooled, I apply acrylic paint. Lastly I wipe it off to achieve an embossed effect.
