Fun with clay

[vakmere]

So many creative and art worthy pens on this site this may pale in comparison however it was fun twirling around different colors of poly-clay, wrapping it around a tube and not have it fly off. Looks like oceanic storms. Enjoy.......:musical-note:

Extremely well done. Blanks have a lot of fluid motion in them. Jim S

Very nice indeed!

That's an interesting technique. I'm assuming you fire the clay and then turn it? Or do you just use abrasives to achieve the final shape and finish? Well done!

I first rolled the clay up in a thin snake likeshape and wrap it around the tube. I bake it at 280 degrees for half an hour. I turn some of it down on the lathe and then sand the rest of the way. Several apps of CA.
