Here is something I have never done. Playing with clay. I have always wanted to take a pottery class but there are not any near me and from what I hear, they can be a bit pricy.
But I still wanted to mess around and make something with clay so I purchased some “air drying clay”. I got the idea of the clay oil defusers on line. I thought they were cute and simple. The clay was inexpensive and I used natural leaves for stamping a design.
I squeezed and pressed over and over until I had the size and shape I wanted. Using a cookie cutter, I cut out a round shape. I used a straw to make two holes and set them out to dry for 24 hours.
I like the way they turned out. I debated on painting the print or not but I ended up using some green acrylic paint to enhance the natural print. I painted one with coffee. It turned out to be my favorite. I plan to hang it in my car.
I also made a little ring plate using the same technique.
To use the clay defusers, just add a couple drops of your favorite essential oil and hang it from your rearview mirror, office or closet. The clay absorbs the oil and creates a nice aroma. Reapply the oil every few weeks .

They all turned out beautifully. I like them a lot. How clever you are!! :)
ReplyDeleteI do like the sprig print on clay. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteSo cute and creative Lisa. I love how they look. The ring plate is a great idea,
ReplyDeleteOoooo, very cool items you made with clay. I took a pottery class many years ago, and still have the Christmas plate I made. This looks like a creative project, and you did a great job making them.
