Shawna Marie Reborned by Glo

Shawna Marie
Born August 9, 2008
Height 20 inches long
Weight 5.10.5 pounds

Sawna Marie was created from the newly released “Allyssa” sculpt by Claire Taylor. Allyssa is my favorite kit so far. From a Claire Taylor's blank canvas, I have transformed Allyssa in an adorable 1 month old baby that has become a One of a Kind Keepsake baby to love and pass on down to your children and their children and so on, from generation to generation.

Shawna Marie is exquisite in her detailing. She has her own adorable personnality! She is detailed from the top of her head to the bottom of her baby feet. Being a Sculptress herself, Claire Taylor made sure that the reborning process would not only be easy but enjoyable and it was. Specially rooting her head.

Sawna Marie has full legs and 3/4 arms. Her limbs have been realistically weighted with quality glass sand. Her custom flesh color doe suede body is jointed for easy posing and then weighted with glass sand and the softest poly-fil around. The body was made by Auntie Roseann, from Roseann's Boutique.

It will be very hard for me to part with her. She's really a joy to have. I can't put her down. Baby Shawna Marie has been painted with multiple layers of Genesis paints. Her color looks very realistic because I painted layer after layer drying in between. You can see the subtle veining and the mottled baby look. This paint will not fade with time. Baby's arms and legs look so soft and warm. You'll want to kiss those chubby little cheeks!

I have micro rooted her hair one or two hairs at a time. Not more. It took me a long time, but the results are astounding! I rooted her eyelashes one by one and painted her delicate eyebrows. Her eyes are of a hazel color. Her mouth is barely open and it looks moist. She is simply a unique baby!

Shawna Marie's fingers have been carefully painted on the nail bed as well as the tip of the nail. Sealed for their protection, but with a matte varnish.

Shawna's layette consists of the pink and green outfit, shoes and her pink sleeper, all courtesy of her Auntie Jennifer. Her lavender onesie and bonnet were made by Auntie Roseann. The socks, pink hat, t-shirt, diaper, non magnetic pacifier and her litthe hair berret were courtesy of Glo. She will come to mommy with a COA from Claire Taylor and the reborning logo of "BBG" on her cloth body.

Mixing Colors

2008-05-09T11:09:00.008-05:00

Color Mixing
Color mixing for me has always been like a recipe: If you mix yellow and blue, you get green. In part, that's what it is, but it gets a little bit complicated at times and then advantageous at others, because you can create your very own OOAK colors!
I'll start with the "Primary Colors" that are basically where all the other colors come from. The three primary colors are: Red, Blue, and Yellow. In theory, we can create any other color, plus black and white, from the three primary colors, but these,can never be created from any toher color
The secondary colors are: Orange, Green, and Purple. These are created by mixing any two primary colors together; For instance: Yellow and blue makes green, red and yellow make orange and red and blue make purple. Now, depending on the mix you make, you'll get either a truer color or not, because these colors cannot always be mixed 1 to 1.
Tertiary Colors are created by mixing the secondary colors together. Results are often browns, rusts, and muds.
Tints result when any hue is mixed with white. The more white added, the lighter the hue becomes.
Tones result when any hue is mixed with gray. Mixing gray into a hue results in a more muted color than the original hue.
Shades result when any hue is mixed with black. Even tiny amounts of black added to most hues result in a deeper, darker hue than the original. Add more than a pinch, and you won’t be able to tell your new “color” from black!
Color Palettes are comprised of a selection of red, blue, and yellow hues from which you mix secondary, tertiary, tint, tone and shade hues from. For example, you can use “pure” red, blue and yellow, or fuchsia, turquoise, and yellow, or even florescent pink, florescent blue and florescent yellow as your primaries. The choice is yours. All of the colors mixed from the three primaries you choose will be unique from those mixed from a different starting color palette.

Moonies in Polymer Clay

2008-04-30T07:26:00.005-05:00

“Moonies” in Polymer Clay sculptures

What is a “Moonie”? A moonie is a bubble of air that gets trapped in the polymer clay and when you bake your piece, it will show as a whitish spot in the form of a half moon or a bump in a lighter color. That’s why they’re called “moonies”
The moonies are attributed to different factors:

Preparing and handling the clay
Sculpting with an armature
Sculpting without an armature
Smoothing the clay
Baking

Preparing and handling the clay:
When get your clay it comes in a 1 pound brick, so you should cut it in small pieces and pass it through the pasta machine. When you’re done, you’ll have thin layers of clay that you will use to make your sculpture.

I used to pass and pass the clay through the pasta machine. When you are using only one kind of clay, there’s no need to do this. The more you handle the clay, the more air bubbles will get trapped in and more moonies you’ll get.

The best way to prepare your clay is to make thin slices, then pass it through the pasta machine once or twice. Let it rest on waxed paper and then use it whenever you need it.

Sculpting with an armature:
When you sculpt with an armature, make sure you press the clay into the armature, as hard as you can. If you see an air pocket or a gap between the armature and the clay, either punch it, open it or press the clay in.

When you are applying the subsequent layers of clay, just make sure that you don’t leave any spot without pressing firmly.

Sculpting without an armature:

When you sculpt without an armature, I would advise you to use a larger piece of clay and if possible, don’t pass it through the pasta machine. Just make a ball, pressing the clay as hard as you can between your hands. Then shape it into anything you want. If you see a small pocket of air when you’re sculpting your piece, pierce it immediately and fill the hole or gap with clay until the air bubble is gone.

Smoothing the clay correctly is a very important step so that your piece can be free of moonies. I used to smooth back and forth, pushing the clay up and down and side by side. By doing this I was disturbing the clay that was already set, from one place to another and creating air pockets or bubbles.

Smooth in one direction with small pats instead of dragging your fingers. If you must drag, then do it softly and again, in one direction. Use smoothing oil so that it is not that hard to slide your fingers.

Baking:
This has been a subject of disagreement among the sculptor’s community. The clay comes with instructions and most of them say to bake 1/4 of clay at an oven temperature of 265 degrees fahrenheit for 20-30 minutes.
So, if you have 1” of clay (that’s 4 layers of 1/4 each) you would have to cook from 1:30 to 2:00 hours, and so on. Right? Wrong!

I started using this math to bake my pieces and to my disappointment my sculptures came out burnt and full of moonies. I called the three leading polymer clay manufacturers to ask their engineers about this issue and honestly they didn’t know what to answer. One of them said “just to use 1/4 of clay at a time” Other one said: This is not possible. The clay would not be properly cured for sure and the sculpture would break” But what if you are creating a miniature sculpture of 6” long?

It was obvious that the temperature was too high, heating the air bubble faster than the clay, hence forcing the bubble to expand. It made a lot of sense to me, because I was sure that the air would heat faster than the clay... So what If I baked at a lower temperature for a longer time? I analyzed that by increasing the curing time, the time would make up for the high temperature, so my piece would not only be completely cured, but it would be free of moonies too, and to my amazement, it was!

How did I came up with this? Well, we never cook a Thanksgiving or Christmas turkey the same time do we? We have to take in consideration the bird’s weight and then we say we’ll cook it at 350 degrees fahrenheit for 1 hour per every 3 pounds so if our turkey weighs 22 pounds, we’ll cook it for 7 hours approximately.

So based on this thought, I baked 1” layer of clay at a temperature of 200 degrees during 3 hours and it worked! My baked piece was free of moonies, completely cured and hard. Then I made an experiment with a 2” layer of clay baking at 200 degrees during 5 hours and it came out perfect.

Now these calculations are not mathematical neither exact, much less the only ones. This is what has worked for me. So I shared my experience at one or two polymer clay forums and it was a debate. Some agreed with me and have been already doing it and others didn’t agree and swore our pieces were going to break. So far the sculptures are in one piece and I have never burnt another sculpture.
