| Diane's Polymer Clay Switch Plates |
An artist from Flickr sent me a friend request and I was intrigued.
Dmanzi (Diane Manzi) is the artist behind beautiful mosaic pieces - frames,
switch plates and jewelry.
She uses a reverse mosaic style and incorporate other canes of clay designs, faces and flowers. Some of them have dancing figures drawn as a stencil first and then cut out of the clay.

| Martha Stewart and Liz Smith Demonstrating an Easter egg project |
I have never decorated an egg before so I enjoyed this easy
video tutorial which was posted on Martha Stewart website. Liz Smith
demonstrated the process of creating a Millefiori Easter egg.
Martha was all excited about this decorating technique but on the same breath said that this takes quite a looong time! :) But she enjoyed every minute as you will see in her video.

| Polymer clay buttons tutorial |
Viktoria Slutsky posted a super easy and fun tutorial
for making lace polymer clay buttons. All you need is paint, lace and a real
button to measure the holes!

| Colored Pencils |
And an outside inspiration as Sage bray calls it - These breath taking pieces, posted in "Daily Art
Muse" website, belong to an Australian artist - Lionel Bawden which
uses hexagonal colored pencils as a sculptural material, forming amazing
shapes. I can see some extruder work here if you're looking for inspiration...
A TIP!
In my last IKEA visit I saw this cool drawer mat and thought it can be super useful as a.... texture sheet!

I tried it and the result was great!
You can purchase a huge roll of this mat and cut it into smaller pieces to use on your clay. It is flexible, non sticky and the texture is nice as well.
You can see the visual effect of this texture on both Sharon and Rose's name tags.
