Handsome man coaster/trivet


I ran across some of those stone coasters in the dollar store today and thought of the handsome man! I stamped the image in black dye ink directly on the surface of the stone. I set it with the heat gun and then applied a thick layer of liquid polymer clay (Sculpey brand). I baked at 275 for 20 minutes, then applied another coat of lpc going in the opposite direction with the brush strokes. Another 20 minutes in the oven and it was done! It has a lovely soft matte look and feel. I have a few more variations to work on this weekend.....
