Mould Making Phase 2


It’s official-I may been becoming a bit of a Premo-clay fiend! After how easy these moulds were to make, I’ve got the bug!
It’s amazing to think I made this many moulds out of two small packets of Premo. Though I’m more drawn to the matt shade of the black clay and was annoyed when some of the sparkles from the pearl clay were left on the moulds. The cameo was by far my favorite, since the clay picked up the details beautifully.
And some of the moulds didn’t work out. For example the mouse had too many details to be picked up on a 2D mould. But I still gave the hedgehog a shot, which I plan to make into a broach. Not sure yet what I’ll use the butterflies for, but the clock faces will be amazing for some themed necklaces, like Cinderella and Alice in Wonderland. 
Premo clay itself was super simple and fun to work with as well. True you gotta condition it for a while for max flexibility, but it makes me wanna experiment with different meshing techniques I’ve read about. If you haven’t experimented with this wonderful material yet, I urge you to do so.

Project Budget: £6 (for mould clay and 2 Premo packets)
