Hilla Bushari Magical transfer papers - Use your own photos, transfer them onto paper & clay! FREE video tutorial

I met Hilla Bushari many years ago in a polymer clay guild event, back when we both started working with polymer clay (10 years ago? but who's counting :).
Since then each turned to her own path but from time to time we share knowledge and discuss polymer matters.

After sharing a great success with the “Cosmic Ceramic” tutorial, we talked again and realized we can work together but in a different way of sharing.

While I was working on my INKredible Polymer class using alcohol inks, I got several samples of Hilla’s printed transfer paper.
What will I tell you people! The colors, the beautiful patterns!
If you ever wanted any photo, print, logo or surface technique on your clay – these papers are at your service.

So I played with the papers, adding inks, stamps, laser transfers, stencils – anything goes!
Then I added some macramé knotting around it - loved the result.

Yes, I know what you’re thinking – placing a transferred image onto clay is using polymer mearly as a background medium and not as a role player; Well, you're right in a way, but sometimes it's just what we need!

How do you work with the papers?
Simple – either order blank papers and print them yourself (ink printer, not laser), OR, purchase one of her ready-made printed papers with endless beautiful designs.

Place the sheet face down on your rolled fimo clay, attach well, wait 20-30 minutes, release the paper and that’s it! Quick and easy!

Hilla’s transfer papers are currently made to work with Fimo clay brand only but I’m sure that in the future there will be a solution for other clay brands as well.

These papers are a wonderful solution to transfer your own drawings, patterns and even photos to the paper, print and transfer onto polymer clay.

Hilla's papers can be purchased in her Etsy shop -

Here are some of my creations made with Hilla’s papers

2 FREE Micro Macrame video tutorials - When Polymer clay and alcohol inks meet cords and knots

Polymer clay adapts into it so many mix media techniques - glass, mosaic, crochet - everything can be decorated with polymer clay beads...
So why not Micro Macrame knotting?

Micro Macrame may look complicated at first sight but it is in fact a very simple handcraft dated hundreds of years ago, used all over the world with thin / thick cords.

You can find macrame knotting in home accessories, jewellery, fashion and many more.

Once you master 3-4 basic knots you can create your own patterns and design and combine them with your own custom made polymer clay beads.

No need for special tools or materials! Only cords and beads!

Here is a free sneak peek to 2 free tutorials creating polymer clay earrings combined with metal findings and knotting.

If you do not have metal finding with holes you can create your own using polymer clay and small cutters, tooth picks or drilling after baking.

Have fun!

Polymeri Online 28.5.15 | Back from USA Orlando Fandango 2015 ~ Journey Photo Album ✈, Christina's children's book figurines, 2 ways to build a polymer clay house, Free polymer clay bugs tutorial

I always say that you need a vacation after a vacation, running from one place to the other, visiting, touring, traveling - it's exhausting! ;)

Returning from my long US trip (vacation and polymer clay retreating) is not easy but I'm here to share some links I gathered over the past month.

First, my Orlando Fandango 2015 retreat photo album - I had the honour of being one of 3 instructors in this year Orlando Fandango 2015 – A polymer clay retreat hosted in Lake Yale, Leesburg, Florida, along with 2 colleague teachers (Lindly Hunani and Eugena Topina) and ~60 students.

My Alcohol inks "INKredible" class was chosen by last year 2014 Fandango participants as one of the 3 classes to be taught on 2015.

The classes and trip were wonderful in all aspects - people, organisational, personal.

Avaritania's 3D polymer clay houses

Another "Home-builder" creating houses, this time in 3D - Avaritania. 

According to her post she is quite new in the live journal group page but judging from her work she has a touch of clay in her fingertips. 

If I understood correctly, she used to build them on thin paper as her base but when her walls kept "collapsing" she moved to a thicker cardboard and now she uses templates.

Polymer clay bugs tutorial

Last one for the day is another live journal catch - a polymer clay bug class by Aleksanta.

Now that the summer is getting near and bugs are around us, you can create some of your own and place them on a shirt, bag or even as a "scarecrow" to frighten other bugs!
