I spent the afternoon playing with clay and trying some of the techniques that I saw at the last guild meeting (Western New York Polymer Clay Guild). In fact I made my very first beads! Now I have to figure out how I am going to use them. I did use one of the “beads” to make a center piece of a new barrette. ( I didn’t put a hole through that one). I will be finishing the barrette over the weekend and hopefully get it up on the website. I lost track of time in the craft room and the day got away from me. I really need to put a clock in there. Maybe I should make one! I know I can get the clock works at the local craft store and I can cover it with clay! Watch out. polymer clay can be addicting.
Welcome to my blog. I have been working with polymer clay for about 4 years now, but I still think myself as a beginner! There is so much to learn. I enjoy even my failures. I started working in polymer clay as a way to create new barrettes for me to wear and then decided to share the barrettes with the world. I have also started to branch out and play with other arts like beading and sewing, so look for those additions to my site soon. I will share all of my playing and what worked for me. I will also be adding things that have made my “job” easier, like the light box that my husband made so that I can take good pictures of my work.
I am off the play in the clay but I will be back!
