PolyPediaOnline - Wave your magic wand and paint on clay! NEW tutorial!

I don't know why many polymer clay artists are intimidated by liquid polymer clay :)

This white, gooey, sticky material is some how too scary to deal with? I keep stock of all liquid polymer clays brands but i use them seldom. why? i don't know! i am more attracted to those vivid clay blocks with their intensive colors :)

BUT! we are missing a world of options over here!

In my new tutorial I am demonstrating how to transfer a drawing or a sketch using color pencils or oil pastels into clay - it can be an artistic sketch, the name of a friend, a
photocopy, your own drawing - anything!
We can paint on clay and use it as our canvas!

My tutorial demonstrates 3 eye catching designs -
a sophisticated symmetric square bracelet (the technique of course can be applied to other designs) OR a barrette using the same technique;

a necklace with chic "pastels-silver leaf" style beads;

a quick "canvas" ring with your own drawing - don't worry, you don't have to be a piccasso for it ;).

Each project has it's own tricks and tips for drawing, building (beads), layering, cutting, attaching and many more.

SO... get your hands a bit sticky :) the best way to understand a new or un-familiar material is to try it out! don't think twice and jump in, you may be surprised where it takes you :)

Giveaway! Dora the explorer canes!

Last year i made a HUGE size dora the explorer cane, it was a special request from my 2 sweet little nieces and i made so many items from it, but... the cane keeps hanging around and it simply refuse to end!! The 2 girls are now grown up and i can give it away :)

So I thought, why won't i ask some of you guys/girls if you need some?
well, if you want to recieve a free 2 inch cane of Dora's, i invite you to leave a comment with your favorite color mixing recipe of polymer clay, from you own polymer clay "cookbook", just tell us which brand, what colors, how many from each color and what is the final result :) this can be a good resource for other people as well!

I love color mixing!!!
I’ll select 2 random winners in my weekly thursday post of polymerionline!

Let's hear you!

I have to tell you what i saw in one of our Israeli forums, there was a lady, says that in the summer times she sees lot's of cockroaches going around in the pipe system (you know, of the sewage, Yukks!!), well, she had enough with them and decided to make something about it. she took FIMO polymer clay and made a "custom made sink plug" to prevent them from going up in the pipes! isn't that an idea? well, don't consider it a project but now i understand that there is nothing that can't be done from this material, now even the roaches will enjoy their colorful plug!!
