RELIC “RESIN” JOURNALS
By Tracy Vaughn Moore
Working with polymer clay, resin, found objects, mold making techniques, leather, wood, metal mesh, and bookbinding techniques, students will create a one-of-a-kind journal, completely unique to each individual artist. These journals, while having the look and feel of something that might be found deep within the ruins of an ancient lost city, are still completely functional.
Supply list:
Various found objects. (These objects can be incorporated into both the cover and the closure.)
A couple of beads and charms.
Old photos, or bits of collage that you might wish to embed in clear “resin.”
Paper: 20 pieces of Fabriano Artistico 140# “hot press” paper, cut to 11” X 5 ˝”.
Ten blocks of polymer clay in translucent or ivory (I prefer Sculpey III, or Premo, or even Super Sculpey)
Jewelry pliers. (These can be any small needle nose pliers.)
Small tube of Burnt Umber acrylic (I will be bringing several other colors, but feel free to bring whatever colors of acrylic that speak to you.)
Old towel or rag.
Optional supplies: (I will have these available to use…however, should you wish to bring your own, please feel free to do so.)
Dremel tool with various bits (specifically a 5/64” drill bit)
Any toys, charms, figurines, etc., that you may want to use for making molds of.
Artist Bio:
Tracy Vaughn Moore owns Zettiology Rubber Stamps & Mythos. Journal making and keeping are his focused art passions. When he’s not making journals, he can usually be found haunting the coffee shops of Seattle writing, drawing, and meeting other creative spirits, as well as spending much time with his Lomo cameras, capturing all the tidbits of life that make it interesting.
Here are some pictures from past Relic Journal Classes.
