New Video - Filling a metal bezel with polymer clay
My sister is moving to a new home and asked me to create "mezuzah" (doorpost) to her house doors (in fact, I made 14 of them).
In jewish tradition the mezuzah cases are placed on every doorway at home apart from bathrooms. Inside the metal mezuzah there is a piece of parchment inscribed with specified Hebrew verses from the Torah. The mezuzah is also a symbol of Gods watchful care over the home.
While I was working, I kept the camera working and here is a short tutorial on how to place polymer clay design inside a metal bezel - in my case it's a mezuzah case but you can do the same with any metal bezel.
All you have to do is measure the size of the inside space of your bezel and draw it on a paper (white or parchment), then create your design.
I made a simple geometric pattern made of silver clay, square skinner blend cane and stripes cane. The design was placed on a second sheet (background) and then flatten a bit to tighten well to the background sheet.
Liquid polymer clay was placed on the metal bezel and the design is placed inside the bezel.
Texture and decorations can be added - and it's ready!
Dear sis! wishing you congratulations on your new home! :)
