Little kitty has been going through the garbage again! Today's lid was based upon a millefiori cane button design I did many years ago. This kitty wasn't the one that JHB International ended up going with, but I still like this one the best out of the three variations I created for my line of designer buttons. A slice from this cane was embedded over black clay. The background area was textured with a ball tip stylus using the stippling method. A Jesse James fish bones button was glued and pressed over the top and baked Yes, you can bake JHB and Jesse James buttons with polymer clay at 275F degrees or less!). After the first baking, I used a salmony-blend and black polymer clays to make a Sutton Slice border using my "Swirly Q" texture stamp. If you're not familiar with the Sutton Slice technique, you can learn more in my latest book: The Complete Guide to Polymer Clay. This technique creates detailed, raised patterns with polymer clays.
