3D paint with polymer clay

Looking for ideas to use your 3D paints?
Use them to create creative stamps!

The technique is very simple – draw or print your design, trace it with your paint, let dry completly and use with polymer clay!

Miniature architecture by Oliver

Oliver is a polymer clay architect. He is also 16.
He takes buildings, ships, cars, trains and other architectural items/miniatures and duplicates them in clay, in small scale.
He mentions tin foil in addition to polymer clay as one of his materials, probably used as an armature. What a fun way to use polymer clay! Wish I knew it when I was 16.

Polymer clay elephants gifts

Speaking of elephants. I took Kni Kni’s idea, giving away souvenirs when traveling (she was in India) and both me and my children made really quick versions of it to give to our Thailand hosts. Kids cannot wait to spread the polymer word in Thailand too!
I cannot promise to post regularly while on the roads but you're welcome to follow me on Facebook for more traveling pictures. Take care till my return!

In these hot summer days, all I can think is ocean, beach and cool water.

Thailand is just 2 weeks away and I am looking forward to taking a break from all that is going on in my country. Without getting into political talks or taking sides, these are not easy times in Israel.

Thank god I have polymer as my refuge from stress & worries. Read here why crafting is so important to keep us all sane from all that is around us. :)

Elephant Kingdom by Kni Kni

Latvian polymer clay artist Kni Kni (I think her name is Inga Rosenberg) loves elephants.
Most of her flickr gallery is dedicated to these beautiful creatures - in mokume gane techniques, millefiori, stamped, sculpted, carved, mandala-ed - Elephants Kingdom!
Translation makes it a bit difficult to understand why this animal is so important to her, but like many of us, we just admire their sensitivity, their touching family relationship and their human eyes look. I cannot wait to see some of them in Thailand.

Polymer & felt - polymer clay tutorial

Julia Zhilenkova (Kovrigina) posted an "Oriental Tales" bracelet and earrings in the art "ragged edge" as translation suggests.

She is using felt as her base for the earrings and bracelet instead of clay. This will ensure a lightweight design and comfortable wearing. First, she is creating the circles design using mixed strands and a clay extruder and then measuring her felt and cutting accordingly.
The addition of seed beads around the design is lovely and at first sight you would think the design is made entirely of fabrics!

Thank you Monika Týna Brýdová for posting this link :)

Basket weaving polymer clay tutorial

In a mood for another polymer clay tutorial?
Here is Aleksanta's basket weaving beads. Once again, the extruder transform simple strands into a fun design. The antiquing at the end process adds a lot of depth to the bead.
