INndustrial is In!

It's been nose to the grind stone lately with tons of travel and many creative commitments that's been keeping me from blogging, including this years polymer clay and crystal cruises which are filling fast! (www.artacrosstheoceans.com) In addition to teaching, product development has kept me hopping all year long with thankfully, no end in site! I'm always excited when a new product comes out. I'm incredibly stoked about the latest addition to my texture stamp line. There are two new ones that will debut at The Bead & Button Show, in Milwaukee, next month..."Steampunk Innie and Steampunk Outtie." These two texture stamps are mirror impressions of the same gears, keyholes, watch components and hardware; one ("Innie") with deep, deep depressions, and the other ("Outtie") with highly raised elements.

Each stamp measures 3.75" x 4.75" inches and contain dozens of designs on each plate. They can be used on polymer and metal clays as well as air dry compounds, paper and fabric. I've been playing with the prototypes and certain elements are perfects for making your own hardware and Steampunk components from metal and polymer clays. Many cavities work well for Sutton Slice and Mica Shifted elements with polymer clays. The Outtie version is incredible for stamped, non-dimensional surface imprinting. Innie can be used the same way for the negative impression with inks and paints. The components seen in silver (Art Clay Silver) and black (Pardo Polymer Clay). The panel on the far right is just individual components I created and set against a textured clay background (click images for larger view).

A big shout out to my friend and graphics genius, Geneveve Lange for her work on these! I'm anticipating their being added to my webstore soon: www.lisapavelka.com

Coming soon, my tips and tutorial text on how I use my new Steampunk stamps to create individual polymer and metal clay components. Watch for it on this blog and on my Facebook Art Page.

Hey Dearie!
Would be able to demo this at the IPCA booth?

I love them! Can the texture sheets be baked with polymer clay in them? Otherwise, I just don't know how to remove clay from the "innie" without distorting the clay--especially the gear spokes and such. (I see you know how because you managed it with the gears in the silver/black piece!)

Thanks everyone for the great comments. I'm having a ball playing with these. If only there were more hours in the day! I expect them to be available to order through my website (www.lisapavelka.com) in mid-late June.
