October’s gemstone is opal, right? So why not continue our quest for a convincing fauxpal recipe? This one from Camille Young has me itching for a little exploration time in the studio. Her instructions are in the photo caption.
The number of Stroppel cane experiments appearing daily tells me that I’m not the only one who can’t resist trying a new technique.
If opals aren’t your thing, browse through Camille’s art folder. She’s one multi-talented sculptor, gamer and all-round artist.

VERY Realistic Camille, Thanks for the tips, I love your Venis Fly trap Pin on your blog.
Here is my attempt at Faux opal , I used Silver leaf behind the translucent layers hoping for light reflections

Always love to see Camille featured on your blog! She is innovative with all the materials that she uses. My son is a big fan of her gamer work. Everyone should check out the fangamer site http://fangamer.com/blog/events/officecam/ and watch when she shows up on the Camille Art Friday chats. Fascinating!

Fabulous work, Camille! These are beautiful examples of faux opal! And I’m with Jan, I LOVED the Venus fly trap too–incredibly realistic.
Camille Young ,
Thanks so much for all the encouraging words! I was inspired to make these after seeing the beautiful opal featured last month by Liz Hall.
