Polymer Clay Robot Head Stoneware Style

How to make a tiny robot head in light stoneware style with my favorite art media polymer clay. I think robots are awesome.

• Condition clay and shape into robotic head, round or square, as you like - via your hands
• Poke holes in clay for eyes - via wood tool
• Place beads into holes - via your hands
• Poke hole in clay to create mouth - pen top
• Apply SMALL AMOUNT of BLUE powdered mica - via dry brush and rub in with fingers
• Apply EVEN SMALLER AMOUNT of RED powdered mica - via dry brush and rub in with fingers
• Bake clay as package instructs, usually 275 degrees for 15 minutes per size - this little guy only needs a few minutes
• Let COOL
• Apply VARNISH to seal mica to clay
• Optional: super glue magnet to back

Must Have Supplies:

• Sculpey polymer clay
• powdered mica - color and texture
  • red (exact color used: super russet via Ranger)
  • blue (exact color  used: blue patina via Pearl Ex)
• dry paint brush - too apply mica and create texture
• pen top - mouth
• beads - eyes
• varnish - to seal mica to clay

Optional Supplies:

• wire - for various robot antennas
• magnet - to turn robot into awesome refrigerator magnet
• gloves - to keep finger prints away
