These ornaments are polymer clay overlaid over glass bulb ornaments. Jainnie creates this almost antique effect by layering Pearl-ex powders on the clay.\u00a0After curing, she scrubs off a lot of the Pearl-ex leaving enough powder to accent the textures and shapes.\u00a0She has also created similar effects by layering on metallic paints.\u00a0She found that metallic paints make her work feel a little more loose or organic. Now how often do you hear the words metallic and organic together?<\/p>\n

Have a look at more of Jainnie’s work on her Flickr photostream<\/a> and her blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n
