3D paint with polymer clay
Looking for ideas to use your 3D paints?
Use them to create creative stamps!
Parole de Pate blog (Sabine Alienor) posted this tutorial long ago but it is never too old to try it!
The technique is very simple – draw or print your design, trace it with your paint, let dry completly and use with polymer clay!

Miniature architecture by Oliver
Oliver is a polymer clay architect. He is also 16.
He takes buildings, ships, cars, trains and other architectural items/miniatures and duplicates them in clay, in small scale.
He mentions tin foil in addition to polymer clay as one of his materials, probably used as an armature. What a fun way to use polymer clay! Wish I knew it when I was 16.

Polymer clay millefiori landscape cane tutorial

Polymer clay owls by Zuta
Zuzana Talášková’s (Zuta art) flickr gallery is crowded with cats, owls, horses, elephants, fish and other millefiori jewellery.
Her colors are vibrant and her canes combinations are very geometric. Zuzana is from Czech Republic artist working with polymer clay since 2009. https://www.flickr.com/photos/45852763@N06/

Polymer clay elephants gifts
Speaking of elephants. I took Kni Kni’s idea, giving away souvenirs when traveling (she was in India) and both me and my children made really quick versions of it to give to our Thailand hosts. Kids cannot wait to spread the polymer word in Thailand too!
I cannot promise to post regularly while on the roads but you're welcome to follow me on Facebook for more traveling pictures. Take care till my return!

Polymeri Online 5.6.14 | Ksenia's polymer clay turtle pendant, Wendy's distortion minimising, Jayne's detailed millefiori canes, The new LEGO slicer & Students Cosmic pride


It's been 2 weeks since the launch of the new PPE (PolyPediaOnline Express) and your feedback is wonderful! Thank you so much all for your support!

Yesterday was the last holiday of the year (before announcing the next jewish new year) and after celebrating with endless diary food, the fridge is full and I can spend more time on posting and less time on cooking! :)

Dolgopolova Ksenia’s turtle pendant
Ukraine artist Dolgopolova Ksenia’s polymer clay work is all about details. Little details. 
Her work is so delicate & intricate ranging from flowers, jewelry, figurines, elaborated pendants, brooches and more. According to her website she is working with clay for the past 4 years. Her flickr gallery is a treat to the eye.
Among the materials she frequently uses are - Polymer clay, acrylic paints, liners for glass, waxed cord, fragments of shells, glassy beads, metal accessories and more!

It was hard to choose just one artwork to feature here but eventually I chose the turtle pendant she posted on FB. So beautiful.


Wendy's scrap top and bottom wrappings
Wendy Jorre de St Jorre was mentioned in PolymeriOnline blog but her recent cane caught my eyes. She is wrapping her round canes top and bottom with scrap clay to minimize leftovers after reducing.

Her trees project is beautiful, she is inventing her own botanical trees types and I am sure that her final collection will be breathtaking. What a dedication!

Jayne's intricate millefiori canes
Speaking of millefiori canes, take a look at Jayne Dwyer beautiful owl cane! The details are so beautiful! Don’t miss her cat cane as well.
She definitely has a good hand with canning, there are so many of them in her Paper Moon Jewelry FB page - Flowers, lobsters, lighthouses, birds and more...

Cat's Lego Slicer
Nina Fletcher shared this ingenious machine in her FB page – Lego Slicer?
She found this brilliant photo on Cat Szetu flickr gallery. 
Is this the new age of millefiori slicing? I didn’t check but I'm curious to know if lego plastic bricks are polymer compatible. Innovation!
