| Tattoos or Decals on Clay |
![]() |
This design was copied from a tile site with hundreds of tile designs. You have GOT to check this site out. I hope you have a fast internet connection and a fast computer because this link connects to a MASSIVE page. http://www.tile-heaven.co.uk/blast-thru-001.htm Using Invent-It's temporary Do-It-Yourself body tattoos, you can print your own tattoos on an inkjet printer. But instead of putting the tattoos on me, I put them on polymer clay. ;-) Click on the image to view a total of six tile designs I tried. |

To the left is the tattoo (decal) applied and baked onto polymer clay. The piece is about 2.25" x 2.25" and thickened slightly in the middle to mimic a pillow. One side has the flowers, the other - swans. If you click on the image, you see a slightly larger than actual size photo, showing both sides. I wanted to try to capture the crinkly textured effect these decals made after baking. It's speculation at this point, but I don't think this surface would need nor take a Future or Flecto Varathane finish. The surface seems pretty durable. I may try small realistic photographs next. |

Here is a small box, decorated with the Invent-It's decals. Click on the image to see all sides. |
Have a great polymer clay time.. ;-) Desiree |
