The polymer clay cookbook - be your own chef!
Jessica Partain and her sister Susan wrote the cutest book in polymer clay miniatures, (my 1st book on that subject) it's all about that tiny food jewelry you can wear, use in doll houses, let your daughter play with barbie dolls, enjoy making with friends or use it any way you like!
It's a comprehensive guide to the polymer clay food world you always wanted to know how to make and didn't know how, including basic shapes, jewelry tips, color mixing and working with liquid clay - fruits, cakes, pie, cookies, ice-cream, sushi, bakcon & eegs and more. Of course, from all these ideas you can make so many other delicacy, just look closely at your "models" and "polymer clay it".
This wonderful niche of miniatures and food charms is so appealing, so cute and so easy, every one can master it thanks to Susan and Jessica, just make it, wear it or give it for gifts on holidays, these cute tiny charms are sure to make every one "wow"!

Polymeri Online 29/10/09
Last week i didn't post the weekly blog, the reason was i had amazing 3 days on that weekend. i took a 3 days course with 2 Israeli men, both of them did the impossible - one of them is Eran Stern who quit a very promising job in Intel to fulfill his dreams, and the other one was Alon Ulman who a few years ago was on the verge of death when he twice survived a rare occurrence of a collapsed lung, he understood that if life had given him such clear boundaries he had to try and strech them a little. He started living life to the fullest and began competing to the "Iron Man" competition - sound crazy isn't it? well, it's all about breaking limits and outstanding results, and these were inspiring full 3 days! anyway, i came back with many ideas and lot's of thinking! makes you think and understand what you have and try living better...
so after some mind inspiration here is some polymer clay inspiration :) some cool links i found this week!
Naama Zamir posted some cool links, one of them is PsychoticReaction is a designer from Encinitas, CA, her figures makes you be scared & smiling :) she is also making pendants and rings in her own unique style.

FancifulForm is also one of naama's inspirations, the flowers sculpted so delicatly and on details, it reminds me of another artist who sculpture beautiful flowers - Olga petrova.
Etsy featured an article about Lauren's (fancifulform) quiting her day job, very inspiring!http://www.etsy.com/storque/spotlight/quit-your-day-job-fancifulform-3949/http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5806774

Toni Ransfield from NZ sponsored a Fimo Nail Competition for nails decoration, the competitors used her beautiful canes to design a winning nail design, choice was hard but the finalists were so colorful! Winning design was from New Zealand! Just thinking of these long nails, must be very hard to work at home or even clay with those long ones! but on the otherside, let's give DH do some house chores :)

One of my hobbies over the years was balloon sculpturing, i was hooked by that fast and colorful art of twisting balloons and making a beautiful piece out of it, i bought books and magazines and had a great time! and look what i found - a balloon dog pendant by roscata, she is a biologist, chonchologist, mesmerized by miniatures, and curiosities accumulator extraordinaire - this cutie brings me back to those balloons i love!
