Death of a Jester

Death of a Jester was made using 30 grams of 650 lowfire/slowdry metal clay. I pressed it into a matrix board that was used to create rubber stamps by "Stamp Of Excellence" Purple and White cz's were set into the clay for embellishments. After obtaining a mirror finish I dipped the piece into liver of sulfur and Mr. Clean Blue.
Judi, from "Stamp Of Excellence" is working with me as I design rubber stamps that can be used in scrapbooking and metal clay. I find by using her moulds that she makes for the stamps it is easier to cut around the shapes without distorting the edges. This particular design is one that Judi designed for me to try.
