You can add mica powders or glitter to liquid polymer clay and either
spread out the clay, bake it and cut it, or bake it within a wire
framework for the shape.

you may be refering to Jones Tones Foils---they have a hologram sheet, and
an oilslick as well as metallic colors and a rainbow sheet too.. The holo is
nototiously hard to transfer....JT foils are found in craftstores in the
fabric painting section quite often. You can transfer to clay tho---they are
plastic sheets, place with the colors or pretty side UP and the back of
that on your clay, burnish down well, then RIIIIP away like a bandaid---pull
fast.

once its applied to the raw clay, cut shape and bake the clay as desired.

Jones Tones also makes fabric paints as well as these filmsheets---you can
paint sheer fabric and use that for wings too. Also, liquid clays or
varathane can be applied to fabric as a stiffener.

I haven't heard of varathane, so thanks for the info.

Bascially what I am trying to achieve is the attachment file
example.jpg

I believe that is the JT and is done the way you explained, correct?

Thanks for your help,
A

Airdiana, the attachments dont go through--this isnt a newsgroup for
binaries. Can you put it someplace of your own and then post a link?
