Christmas is a coming: Part II
Pierceware
A few years ago, perhaps 2 years, I purchased some oven bake clay for a project that I found on the Martha Stewart website. The title of the project is Cameo Appearances: Pierceware.
I never got around to the project, but had already purchase the materials.
The materials that I already had from my craft closet.
Reading the instructions from the website, I remember why I never got very far with this project. The tool needed to make the nice holes in the clay is brass tubing, which I never found after I had already purchased the clay.
The instructions also call for wooden slabs to create an even layer of clay seem like a good idea as well. Add it to the shopping list. As a final flourish, I think red ribbon will be a nice touch for the ornament.
Today, December 6th, I went to the store to search for brass tubing and the wooden slabs. I found 1/4 inch thick flat wooden trim for the wooden slabs although I probably could have done just as well with 2 paint stirrers. The brass tubing was not available according to a person at the local Home Depot. I searched through the aisles for a usable replacement and came up with crimp sleeves.
I'm not sure it will work out, but we shall see..
