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.

My foot is healing well, now I can go back dancing in my studio! ;)

Vince Nitelites - Vince Budnick

Several years ago he was given a couple of blocks of Sculpey III by his mother along with Nan Roche's book "The New Clay".

He always loved light. That has manifested itself as an interest in photography, video, and electronics, and an ongoing progression of sculptures and lamps, so it was only natural for him to check out the light transmitting capabilities of his new medium.

It turns out that Sculpey III passes light nicely, and in the last 6.5 years he made about 50 lamps, Mostly for friends some sold to be given as gifts, and some sold to a craft store.
