RosieSunshine Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I love seeing how this is coming together. The texture on the fireplace is lovely, and the color mixes are really eye catching for what I'm seeing so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boiling is something that was something that was recommended doing when one first started with poly clay (Cernit brand I Think) wayyyy back when it first came over here and it was only avaliable in the colour of white. Boiling helped a lot when one wanted to paint the items too as the oily Surface was removed, although it can also make thin items slightly brittle.

I used spackle ( a favourite ) for the fire Place as that covers the seams from putting the fire Place pieces together, then painted it with a flat White paint. It will be most interesting to see how it will come together with the ceiling beams as I will install those later today. Soooo looking forward to that, then to the decorations as most of the big items are done allready Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Once you finish your stucco/ adobe texturing of the rest of the exterior and the interior, whatever you use can fill that wee gap at the right rear corner. I really want to come eat a burrito supremo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
