Adding Resin to Polymer Clay and Mixed Media Work

I recently made an art journal cover for an upcoming Polymer Clay TV project and I was happy with the way it came out but awhile ago Kira and I were working on designing some resin elements to add to our mixed media artwork. So I started playing around and this is what I came up with. The heart is done with Magic Transfer Paper transferred onto polymer clay, the wings are also polymer clay and the butterfly is our exclusive resin design. I'm really happy with this extra element, I think it takes the journal to a whole other dimension Stay tuned to Polymer Clay TV to see how I made the art journal cover and the resin pieces are coming soon to some fun kits we are working on.

In the studio with Ilysa polymer clay and mixed media

First I want to wish everyone a happy, healthy new year! I am so looking forward to this new year and I already have so many things planned. One of the things I have planned is a new webisode I am calling, In the studio with Ilysa. I will be sharing products I like working with, things I am working on and lots of fun things that I do and make along the way. I recently finished building my dream art studio and I want to share it with the world. Maybe someday via a retreat or something you will be able to come and create with me but until then I will be sharing via video streaming.

I will post the videos on our You Tube channel, which you can find at
