I went crazy and decided to do embroidery on polymer clay! Nightmare for my fingers, but it's worth it.
My fellow artists at the guild (PCAGOE) tell me they haven't seen anyone else making these before. To be sure, I searched all over to check if I might be unwittingly reinventing the wheel - that would suck. But I think I'm in the clear, yay! (All I found on the net was bead embroidery, but they don't look anything like these)
Started with simple back-stitching on flat clay clouds last September for the Candy Fair. This month I decided to go all out and do traditional embroidery, ala-Mexicana.
I have more pieces cross-stitched with hearts and words, will post pics after I recharge my cam.
