Copper Patina meets polymer clay

Art Bliss Marilyn Girling explored many areas of mixed media, acrylics, colored pencil, bead work and more. In this link she is sharing with us the creation of a cigarette card (which I had to google to find out what they are!) using copper acrylic paints, black and patina. she uses tissue paper, sculpey and strong backing for this special effect.

Advanced Pendant Polymer Clay Tutorial

Another cool tutorial posted in the russian forum by Bobrotermit, photos only but you will see that it requires a lot of carving, back-filling and drilling to remove the un-wanted polymer clay.
A bit advanced but a challenge to understand how it is done using no text at all.

Michael Devine discovered polymer clay in the Spring of 2006. After several years of working the midnight shift in Midtown Manhattan, he needed to find a way to unwind. After a trip to the local art shop, he came home with a few blocks of Sculpey and a book on making simple characters in clay. he was home playing with this stuff for an hour or so and then it just hits him -- He raced back to the store and picked up about $100 bucks worth of clay, tools, supplies and books :) He found his peace!
