More clay buttons...

These buttons were made with scrap clay and stamped with Asian images. Once they were cured I painted them with Micaceous Iron Oxide paint from Golden and then when they were dry I rubbed on three colors of Perfect Pearls mica powders. This gives the ma Raku look. The pictures do not do them justice as in person they are rather sparkely.
Here is another button that was made with the same colors in a Mokume Gane stack but the stack was distressed with a paintbrush , scallop blade and a metal scoop to get the impressions you see here. Then I cut thin shavings off the top of the distressed stack of clay and layered them onto black clay. I really like this one.
