BURNING CLAY

by Nitefalcon
This is an example of what NOT to do to your clay!

Take four freshly baked pieces in a pyrex pie dish from the oven...
Place them on still warm, and worse than that, ON electric burner from the noodles you just made...
Waitt.... WHAT IS THAT SIZZLING NOISE????!!!!

OH SSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.....!

Anyway, luckily I have a balcony. I held my breathe, grabbed a mitt (and of course couldn't get the balcony door open, but I did) and then I stuck it out on the balcony....

UGHHGHGHGH! I can't believe I did that....Here are the disaster pictures below...

BURNING CLAY TIPS

From Brookshire Yelton

Tip: "After burning an embellishment design element(that held its shape even while turning black and bubbling the surface)I decided it had an Old World quality to it. Since I can't help but experiment I dry brushed a deep, rich metallic gold over it and it gave the appearance of old, weathered and beaten metal. Often mistakes lead to new and different approaches to your designs."
