I liked the idea of molding plates from plaster, to carve them and then to make wax ornaments with them.

Did you always want to make stamped polymer clay items, e.g. beads, but were you reluctant to use your beautiful stamps for this?
Then you can find the solution here: make from your stamp a plaster stamp that you can easily use for polymer clay.

The beautiful flowers with the shaded petals are handpainted, in the right shape broken mosaic tiles.
Of course you can do the same with self-made mosaic tiles ;-)

I find these bowls in the shape of a pepper, an apple and the like really cute!
It’s rather unusual ;-)
Cute, isn’t?
A great idea to simply colour in plaster of Paris and to cast it in ice cube moulds to get funny plaster of Paris beads.
The jewelry you get this way is more durable but not as refreshing as the ice jewelry ;-)
And if you nevertheless prefer to crochet you don’t have to colour in your plaster beads but can instead wrap them in crochet ;-))

I presented the origamic architecture pencil holder before, here something for people who don’t like it so fiddly: a pen holder made from a plaster-filled crisp bag.
I like the idea :))

I presented already the necklace bust and the mini dress-form jewelry stand, now here another just as well idea: a plaster board with cast in doll arms.
It get’s more and more difficult to decide where to put your jewelry, doesn’t it? ;-))

The tutorial about plaster casting in a simple foam tray is meant again as kids craft.
But I have some buttons and stamps with interesting surfaces – I should be able to use them to make some cute plaster pendants from, shouldn’t I?
I’m looking for this foam trays for a certain time, but I can’t get them here.
Seems as if I have to resort to play dough or even to carving them myself ;-)

I told already that want to lose weight before I will crochet the bolero but I don’t find it easy.
How much better must it be if the scales tell me that my weight is ‘perfect’?
;-)
She made the scales with glass mosaic tiles but I think that it should be possible with selfmade mosaic tiles from polymer clay or glass paints or from plaster, resp. Or of course with a paper collage, best as paper crazy quilt. Or with eggshells.

A really long tima ago I found the carved plaster plaques and found the idea great.
But because I still don’t know what exactly to do with them I haven’t tried it yet.
Nevertheless I never forgot those carved plaster plaques ;-)
