Clay button expirament

I told you yesterday that I expiramented with making some clay buttons/embellies.  The Fimo clay was all on sale at Michael's so there wasn't very many colors to choose from- so I grabbed white, vanilla, a brown, and a gold color (thinking fall colors here). I also picked up some of the mold making stuff as I wanted to try to duplicate some buttons that I had at home. Only 2 of about 6 molds I made came out looking any good........I was a bit disappointed but what the heck- this is my first time trying this stuff.

Here are some dog bone buttons I made using a mold- and a few hearts which I used my woodgrain stamp on for a bit of texture. The hearts were white but I decided to paint them pink this morning. Acually I forgot to make the holes in them so they are just plain embellies- just stick them on with a glue dot-  and I made one plain round button too!

Next up are an assortment of brown and gold buttons/embellies! I had fun trying out different stamps to make fun textures. They are obviously not perfect- but good enough for my first try. These one i just rolled inot a ball and pressed flat. All of the stamps used are from Hero Arts. Can you guess which stamps I used?

I still need to get some shine on them- not sure exactly what to use but I've got an assortment of clear sealants out in the garage to play with.

I would really love to find a leaf mold for fall cards or even some bats or ghosts for Halloween cards.

I'm going to play a bit more with this over the weekend and try some square buttons or mix up some of the different clay colors together.

What do you think of my expirament? If they are really ugly just say so- I appreciate honesty.

Have a great weekend all and I'm trying to get my card making mojo going again too- I'm in the middle of a fun fall card as I type this- can you believe it!
