Easter time and I think of eggs

But not the chocolate kind but the Powertex kind, plus Powertex eggs have no calories!

I had some medium sized Polystyrene egg shapes and was thinking about what I could do with them.

I love fantasy and whimsy stuff and decided to make a dragon egg.

To create the texture I used Ivory Powertex and started by adding Powertex PAPER DECORATION This makes a perfect texture for the egg of a dragon.

I also mixed up some Powertex with some STONE ART to make a clay, to add extra texture and give a little more height my egg.

Some texture using the Powertex clay technique, when it was almost dry I sculpted it with a pokey tool.

This is a side view of my Dragon egg

Aha, it would not be a dragon's egg without a newborn baby dragon. 

I made the baby dragon out of Polymer clay, my other passion and scraped out some of the centre of the egg and glued in my baby dragon using the TRANSPARENT powertex.

Front view, I added some real crystal chips and some glass glitter to make it sparkle.

So Dragon eggs really do exist, well they do in my shed.

I enjoyed making this one so much I made a couple more

I now have a lovely selection of Baby Dragon eggs on my mantlepiece.

Tutors Halloween Challenge

Well, Halloween came and went ever so quickly. It seems the days are flying past quicker than I can get all my jobs done. But I haven't forgotten about our tutor challenge. So without further a do here are the pictures of the tutors ideas for Halloween.

The team at Powertex UK Hq thought they were all fantastic but there can be only one winner...

It was a tough decision to make...

As you can see the range of ideas was superb.

 But we went with this little guy...

Well done to Rachel Angela Pullen. Who will be winning a bottle of her favourite colour Powertex. Toodle pip Anna xXx
