Polymeri Online 12.7.14 | No-water polymer aquarium, Jumping jellies, Elephant kingdom, Oriental polymer tales, Extruder basket weaving tutorial, Netherlands teaching and Tools/tutorials special summer sale
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 |
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!

| Basket weaving 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.

Dear Iris,
ReplyDeletethank you so much for your kind words and I'm so happy to hear (read) that you like my elephants. Here is the story, how I've got to them. In February 2009 (I was working with polymer clay only for 3 month) I went to India. No, it's not like I went to India and then started to make elephants. I did some before and the idea was to take some with me and give as a present to those people I'll like during that trip. (11 Kni elephants are still in India) And so it started :) Can't imagine my life without them and I'm more than sure there are people who feel the same.
Warm wishes from Riga,
Inga
That is an amazing idea! I hope I have time and can leave similar gifts in Thailand! :)
