After forgiving and sending the little one away unharmed, the bee repaid the kings' kindness by assisting him solve Queen Sheba's most complicated riddles - figuring a real flower from dozens faux ones.


The latest "Cosmic Ceramic" tutorial is focused on creating the most realistic faux ceramic designs created from polymer clay.
Like that little bee, you alone will be able to know the difference.

Earthen clay and ceramics were on my thoughts for some time.

Astonished by it's color & elegance, its outstanding glazes effects, attractive forms, distinctive characteristics as well as functional uses, I always wanted to learn anything about it, but mainly, how to produce the exact same wonder with polymer clay.

My opportunity arrived when I met Hilla bushari, a polymer clay artist and friend that has just finished teaching a mini-class on creating a faux ceramic wall ornament.
We talked about her process and being a real creative spirit, a researcher of polymer clay wanting to extract the best out of it, I realized there was clearly much more to be uncovered.

Hilla and I gladly joined artistic forces, and developed the "Cosmic Ceramic" tutorial collection which will "blow your mind away" if you're a ceramic passionate just as much as we are.

The following course set is focused on earthen clay techniques, created exclusively using polymer clay.

The genuine versus. the synthetics?
We stood up to the challenge and claimed success.

Second is a chemistry wonder, a mixture, developed by man.


One needs 1200 heat degrees to become cured while the other can not take over 110 Celsius.

The "Cosmic Ceramic" set present our worldwide quest to several worlds as well as nations, countries and galaxies; Inspiration converted into polymer clay designs.
Examining each aspect doable, leaving absolutely nothing behind.

Polymer Clay Angry Birds - FREE How-To Video

Who doesn't like angry birds?
I just LOVE them :)

About 2 months ago I had a "special order" from my nieces to create small angry birds earrings.
I went straight to work and left the camera on while working (don't worry, I don't work so fast, the video is 300% faster then the original...;)
So just before I start packing my suitcases and fly to Maryland, here is a quick and easy tutorial for red angry birds and green pigs.
These were snatched up before I even got a change to take their final photo!

B.T.W - Did you know that "Rovio" people, who invented angry birds, are from Finland?
I didn't know that.
After emailing them and asking for their approval I noticed it!

Have fun!

Polymeri Online 22.10.12 | Kinetic box, Polymer clay tree ornaments, Snow globe tutorial and Globe rings

Wanaree's hinged metal box tutorial
I came across this video a while ago and bookmarked it so I can share it with you guys. Although this class is for metal clay artists you may find some of the ideas shown here useful with your polymer clay work.
Wanaree Tanner is documenting the creation of a "Gallery Box": a kinetic, hinged metal clay box with interchangeable tiles. Makes me think again about trying metal clay...polymer rocks! ;)

Yvi's FIMO tree ornaments

Now that the holidays are getting closer, here is an idea for a tree ornament! Take a look at Austrian artist Yvi`s (Yvonne) Torten & Tortenfiguren flickr gallery, it's full of cute sculpturing including themed figures for various occasions. Some made of suger/cakes paste and some made of fimo clay.
These little figures sitting on top of a round clay ball (or is it a glass ball?) I love the little purple one with it's turning head...

How to create a simple snow globe
Another tutorial I found online is by Ivanna, a Russian mix-media artist who teaches how to create a snow globe of a snowman. All you need a spices glass jar (the one we use to put paprika and other "polymer inclusions") and make your own snow globe!

Polymer clay globe ring
and speaking of globes, here is a globe ring by Donna Cruz-Comia from the Philippines, Donna says she is not keen on making miniatures so this posed a challenge for her. A real statement jewel!
