 Surface Technique 2 - Textured Tiles Tutorials
Fabric Textured & Inked

This is the 2nd of a series of 4 PDF-format tutorials giving instructions for creating polymer clay tiles using 5 different surface techniques using rubber stamps.

 

This technique uses a rubber stamp in the traditional paper crafting method of inking and stamping.  But in this case we are stamping on clay.  What is special about this technique is the use of a texture which results in a beautiful subtle fabric-like surface with just a touch of shine.   It’s a truly unique effect.  

 

A tile consists of 3 layers – the decorative 1st layer and the back layers 2 and 3, which provide the channel for the cording.  The tutorial is sold as 2 PDF documents – the first is “The Basics” document which details the tile construction portion (layers 2 & 3) as well as extras such as “Creating a trim”, “Creating an Inverse texture sheet” and “Sample Tile Templates”. The second document covers the surface technique (layer 1). Together the 2 documents total 11 pages and 20 images at a cost of $4.00 CAD.

 

Free (while quantities last) with the purchase of this tutorial as well as a shippable item from ShadesofClay.com: A swatch of the fabric that is used in this tutorial.

 

Tutorials are available from Shades of Clay and Kazuri West.
