Mysterious Temple Bas Relief Vintage version! A great starter project to begin your Pal Tiya Premium journey or just a fun project all round. This Mysterious Temple Bas Relief highlights many of the great techniques you can use when sculpting with our weatherproof sculpting medium! We show a simple tinfoil armature, application of the product, adding on what we like to call "snakes" (rolled up Pal Tiya Premium), texture and more... We think it falls...(see what we did there)...very nicely into the whole Halloween Theme. We imagine yours propped up against a wall in your garden, hiding amongst the leaves or you could even hang it...just make sure to leave some space at either side which will remain free from any product because once this stuff cures it will be near impossible to get a hole in it :) Let the kids play with their toys and pretend they have a hidden temple in their garden! Have fun with this one and let us know how you go by tagging us over on Instagram #paltiya & #paltiyapremium. The remastered version will be coming very soon. This one was for funsies.

 Ever wanted to be kind to your pollinating garden guests? We've been playing in the Pal Tiya studio recently and we wanted to share this Bee Bath idea. Here's a way to make a gorgeous Aztec inspired bee bath with Pal Tiya Premium. In colored pencil, draw your design out on paper, then onto an old lampshade. You can just see the lines against the black surface. Then wax the lampshade so the bowl will come off. Vaseline or automotive wax will work. Prepare and make 5 colors of Pal Tiya Premium scagliola with oxides in small batches. Red, Yellow, Blue, Green and White (of course you can choose any color you'd like). See here for ratio of powder to oxides. We also have a video of this technique here  Using tiny Pal Tiya Premium snakes (roll out on a slightly damp towel) of various colors, lay in the outlines of the design. Then with tiny daubs of product, fill in each space with a different color. Then use a fork to completely smoosh together all the daubs. This won't move the surface touching the lampshade, but it will fuse the back of them nicely.  This was wrapped in plastic for 3 days till it was strong enough to be removed from the lampshade. Our studio was getting very cold recently so we had to wait a little longer. The warmer your studio space is the faster Pal Tiya Premium will cure so you may well be able to remove the next day or day after :) Now, the inside surface had a few imperfections. A walnut sized black batch of Pal Tiya Premium was made and then rubbed on the inside surface. This filled in the tiny gaps and air bubbles and, honestly, took the surface from just okay to simply gorgeous. It began as garish and became old and authentic.  You can clearly see the colored outlines, the rough daubs and the black filler. IMPORTANT STEP: Bee's need very shallow water to drink from so please ensure you fill your bee bath with rocks, pebbles or even clear marbles and you won't risk drowning your little guests! Now we understand that you may want to use this bowl for any other purpose in your garden and that's just fine. This is just to give you some creative ideas.  What we did with the leftover product to experiment: Rather than waste the remaining daubs of Pal Tiya Premium, we had fun using the leftovers as a finger painting exercise on the back. Each daub was fused and blended in with a fork to see what wild textures and color patterns could be made. This also brought the thickness up to a nice 6 mm.

We get asked a lot of questions either via email or through our social media about how we go from being inspired to create something to how we go about making it and finally installing it. Our Community & Business Development Manager Yvonne and our Co-Founder and Creative Director Kim have put together this new Q & A Style format. The One About The Door In this first of this Q & A style format and we think you'll enjoy watching the process! Comment below and tell us if you liked this style... And do send us your questions and we may pick one to feature on this segment in the future! Do stick around till the end of this one to see an upcoming project that's pretty neat! We started a little series called Creativity For Inspiration recently on our YouTube channel - see here for the first video, which was a sweet little owl. In today's video we're making a Tiny Fairy Door. You can make a bunch and place them around your garden or make some for friends. It only uses a quarter cup of Pal Tiya Premium and so if you have some spare and don't know what to dow with it then here's an idea... Also if you're just starting out using our weatherproof sculpting medium and you want to try something little to get used to it then this is perfect. It requires no armature because it is a flat piece so even if you don't have much around you can still be creative! We hope you enjoy this one. Stay safe, The Pal Tiya Crew |
