Last year I shared how to make a canvas feather necklace and now that I have my own lovely rubber stamps made from my feather drawings, I decided to create another version of a this necklace using my stamps- this time with oven bake clay.
There are all kinds of different ways to use rubber stamps but I think one of my favorites is with clay.
I rolled out white oven bake clay and then pressed the stamp into the clay to make an imprint. I trimmed the around the feather, poked a hole in the end and baked the feathers in the oven. They are BEAUTIFUL plain and white but I wanted to add a little color to mine.
Using acylic paint, I painted over the top of the clay feather.
While the paint was still wet, I wiped a damp paper towel over the surface to remove the paint, leaving pigment in the grooves of the feather.
I added a few little details with paint.
Last, I added a jump ring and chain.

very nice idea Alisa...love these clay feathers
Oh, these are beautiful! I purchased a single feather stamp from you and will be making some of these necklaces this weekend. BEAUTIFUL.
So pretty Alisa, I think I need these stamps now.
I have a set of your feather stamps, and this is a fantastic way to use them! I'll have to scrounge around to see if I have any white clay on hand. Thanks for sharing such a great idea!
Not only do I love this, but I have the stamps so I can do this. Yay!
gorgeous brilliant, as always!! :) xo
Great fun,and a great project!
thanks so much for all the info friend , and I really love the article,,,,,,,
I really appreciate you for all the valuable information that you are providing us through your blog.
Hello! I’ve just spent a lovely hour reading lots of your postings - you make beautiful things! I’m eager to try some clay projects. I have bought some Fimo Soft Polymer Modelling Moulding Clay, some lovely looking Adirondack Alcohol Inks and a jar of Fimo Polymer Clay Water Based Gloss Varnish. I am now officially one of those “all the gear and no idea” girls :)
Do you have any experience with inks/varnish on poly clay? I'm wondering when I make my item if I should bake/paint/varnish in that order? Or should I paint/bake/varnish… bake/varnish/paint/varnish….?! Any help would be hugely appreciated!
