has anyone tried to do this with polymer clay? seems like it could work. i know debbie jackson has a sgraffiti lesson with polymer clay in her book polymer clay jewelry…
any talented sketch artists out there? why not try a large scale picture? me? i think i’m just going to keep scratching my head and wonder where she finds the patience! beautiful work.
Actually, I HAD been thinking a lot lately about scratchboard, since I like to sketch. In fact, I snitched some of the little ones my kids got for Christmas one year and never used. I never thought about making my own, though, and certainly not with polymer clay, but hmmm…. Now I know why I come here every day!
