TOKELOSHE: Mixed Media Magnetic Coasters.

"Mixed media art refers to a visual art form that combines a variety of media in a single artwork. For example, if you draw with ink, then paint over it with watercolors, then add some highlights in colored pencil - that's mixed media!"- Art is Fun

Face Push Molds

I worked in a bead tray to contain the talcum powder, which prevents the clay from sticking.

These were made with oven bake clay which I got at a dollar store.

I placed them on parchment paper and baked them in an oven.

Planning the coasters before painting. On the left are metal stickers.

I turned the top photo into a sketch in a photo editing software, which I printed for later reference.

I used stencils, a palette knife and Polyfilla (a texture paste alternative) to apply texture to the coasters. I used the green stencil for the big coasters, the others were made with the felt coaster and a paper doily.

Embellishments painted black. Use an old bristle brush to get into the nooks and crannies.
