Does this technique have a name?
http://www.justbeads.com/listings/de...mnum=796097366
Is this unique to the artist or is it a technique with a name and maybe some directions ;-)? I think it looks interesting. I like that organic kind of thing. Maybe a mix of mica shift and mokumegane(sp?)with stamps? Ingrid |

It looks to me like that "ghost image" technique where you use stamps
and slice off the top. I've never been able to make that technique work, but some people like this artist are really good at it. Cheryl www.cherylsart.net |

I have seen a number of tutorials on this technique. It's very cool! I
need to get a tissue slicer blade to try it. (My LBS is pretty lame at restocking merchandise). You shave thin layers off the top of the clay with the blade bowed in a wide U. You can use the thin layers and the final piece you are shaving off from. I have been wanting to try it. Those beads from the link are gorgeous! |

The beads on ebay have small pieces of gold premo that have been sliced off
of a raised image. Mike Bueseller first popularized the Mica Shift techniques. Jamie Miller showed it to me in CA many years ago, and I couldnt do it---you are supposed to take the raised bits off slowly with the blade, leaving the image "ghoseted" in the large layer because of the shifted mica particles. I cut too deep, but really liked the slice-off parts. Those I show how to do in "Celebrations with Polymer Clay". The original technique I find much easier to do by baking the raised parts and all, then sanding to remove, You have MUCH better control on how much is removed that way!!

I've never been able to slice off the right thickness either. I guess I
could practice... hehe. Sarajane, did you get a chance to find out for me who to contact about submissions? I know you must be very busy. Just a friendly reminder. :-) Cheryl www.cherylsart.net |

Looks like ghost image/mica shift. That is a very pretty interpretation.
Grant Diffendaffer does this phenomenally well and wrote an article for B&B a while back with instructions.

Chery, I did indeed look up the project info for BeadBugle.com--and then
posted the info over at Polymerclaycentral.com ! Wait---now that I go there to copy and paste I see WHY I did that--you asked me over there! here's the answer.. Here's what it says at the Beadbugle.com site---minus the pics and animations "We'd love to publish your beading projects - and pay you for them! Soon the Bead Bugle will offer two projects a week. E-mail a scan, photocopy, or j-peg of your project to with the subject line PROJECTS, along with the directions. Final selection and editing will be completed by The Bead Bugle. If you have step-by-step j-peg photos or drawings of the project, please include them. But don't worry if you don't. We can create how-to photos as needed. We may ask to borrow your piece for photography, but please don't send it until we ask.. -- Sarajane's Polyclay Gallery Beads-Dolls-Wearable Art www.polyclay.com see the current auctions at: http://snipurl.com/aiid |

Thank you. That looks really tricky but the results are great.

Ingrid, the "trick" to easier cutaway work is to have a very sharp blade,
and powder it, and use it on clay that has been allowed to cool off and re-firm-up after its impression. Then you have much better results!! SJ -- Sarajane's Polyclay Gallery Beads-Dolls-Wearable Art www.polyclay.com see the current auctions at: http://snipurl.com/aiid |
