For this piece, you’ll need:
·       A block of air dry clay. I used DAS brand white modeling clay
·       Regular watercolor paints.
·       ArtDeco brand Triple Thick Gloss Glaze
·       Gilding Paint. I used the Liquid Brass color on the rim of this piece. I applied it with a size 6 Royal Langnickel round-tip brush.
·       Optional: E6000 glue to attach the little cat sculpture.

Other supplies you’ll need: some vintage crochet lace, either a doily or a table runner. DAS clay is generally non-staining and can be rinsed easily from most fabrics (don’t let it dry on– rinse the piece immediately after using). A rolling pin of any kind, and a working surface such as a silicone mat or other smooth surface that can be wiped clean.
 
Instructions:
Roll the clay to an even thickness, about one-quarter inch. If the clay feels dry, knead a bit of water into the clay to soften it. If it’s too dry, it will wrinkle and crack as you shape the dish. Place the lace crochet on the clay, centering the pattern as desired. Then use the rolling pin to firmly and evenly press the lace crochet into the clay. Gently remove to expose the impressed pattern.
Cut out a circular shape of the desired size, then fold up the edges with your fingers. Smooth the rim as best as you can with your fingers and a damp sponge.
Set the dish aside to dry completely (a few days). Once dry, paint the dish with diluted watercolor paint.
If you sculpted a little cat or dog, you can glue it on with a dab of E6000 once the watercolor paint is dry.
Once the piece is completely dry again, seal the piece and create a glossy finish with the DecoArt Glaze. Brush on an even layer, coating the inside and rim of the dish. This sealer doesn’t show brush strokes and dries with a smooth finish.
After 24 hours, you can apply the liquid gold or brass paint to the rim if desired. #vintageinspired #crochetart #makeitwithmichaels #diycrafts #makeyourown #clayart
