Mardi Gras Mask Bottle

I belong to the PCETeam on Etsy (Polymer Clay Enthusiasts Team) and each month we do a 'Stretch Yourself' Challenge.  This month the theme is Mardi Gras, St. Patrick's Day or Irish Themes.  I chose to do something in a Mardi Gras theme and wanted to share it with you today.


I covered a glass bottle (can also be a vase) with polymer clay, stamped a leaf design on it and then used mica powders to highlight the design.  I used greens, purples and golds, it added so much dimension to the piece.  I added a rope around the top of the vase, I then created a Mardi Gras Mask in pearl yellow, using those same Mardi Gras colors to decorate the mask.  I also made clay feathers to adorn the mask.  The bottle has a cork lid and can also be used as a vase without the lid.  It stands 4 1/2" tall, 3 1/2" wide at it's widest part, and the opening is approximately 3/4" ~ It was so much fun to create this one, and different from what I usually make.  I enjoyed the challenge, and hope you enjoy seeing it.  Please click HERE to see the listing for this Mardi Gras Mask Vase/Bottle in my Etsy Shop.

  5. I love the effect of the beautiful muted mica-ed texture that sets off the brighter colors and smoother surface of the mask. The roping gives it a the very elegant and luxurious final touch,...that final touch that you give your work is the hallmark I have come to expect; something that sets YOUR work apart. I think this piece has a feeling of being a turn of the century New Orleans period piece.
