Grumpy Girl Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 I loaded back up on polymer clay. What in the hell was I thinking?Guess it's time for dragons, elves, and soap fairies galore!Someone help me find time for this, I really don't have any to spare right now. Quote
Bunny Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 I thought your moment of weakness was the liquid soap? My gosh, you sure have loads of adventures! Quote
candlesprite7 Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 I love love dragons, elves and fairies....be sure to post pics when you do find time to make them. I have a friend who uses polymer clay on the glass of shadow boxes and puts a mini string of lights in the back to light it up, they look really cool...here's a pic...I had her make this for my mom who has a mermaid/ocean themed bathroom...my mom loves it...took her about 8 hours form start to finish and she said her fingers were tired when she was done...lol...

Grumpy Girl Posted January 23, 2007 Author Posted January 23, 2007 Nah, the liquid soap is a test of the impossible. LOL! Besides that, I'm still waiting on my KOH to get here. Failor's liquid soap book just arrived yesterday so maybe I'll have this made by the weekend. Joy. Quote
Grumpy Girl Posted January 23, 2007 Author Posted January 23, 2007 Oh wow, that looks awesome!I do stained glass (did do) and I'd never thought of using PC instead. I bet her fingers were very tired! Quote
Sally Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 I love that mermaid, painting on glass is the closest I get to stained glass.I've always fancied having a go at glass blowing.Sally. Quote

xsami3000x Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 Did you hit the dollar sale at michaels? Christi Friesen just came out with a new book on under water creatures I'm so wanting to get.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0972817700/ref=wl_it_dp/104-7624637-8631908?ie=UTF8&coliid=I30OPYYXRQ7ZG&colid=17NONL5H2TFTRWho says you need sleep when there is claying to be done?Sami Quote
Grumpy Girl Posted January 24, 2007 Author Posted January 24, 2007 I wish we had a Michaels. I did pick up a book last night from Hobby Lobby by Maureen Carlson called Clay Characters for Kids. There is an incredible looking dragon in it. It's sad when you buy a book for one thing huh? I did use their 40% off coupon on it though. Quote
CareBear Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 I've always fancied having a go at glass blowing.Sally.Me too Sally - one of my dreams. I have been dozens of times to the Corning Glass works in New York State and watched the glass blowers at work, and I hear there is a place here in NJ where I can learn. Maybe someday... Quote
candlesprite7 Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 It's sad when you buy a book for one thing huh? It is sad, but I do it all the time...especially with magazines...lol.. Quote
cas Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 You have more talent in your pinkey finger than I have in my entire body! Quote
CareBear Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 You have more talent in your pinkey finger than I have in my entire body!perhaps she does - but you pour fabulous oils... LOL(I'm among the un-artistic myself) Quote
xsami3000x Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 What is polymer clay?It's a form of plastic I believe that comes in a clay form, harder than playdoh but you get the idea. You mold it shape it stamp it paint it and do four hundred other things to it then bake. The baking cures the clay and most of the good brands will last a long long time before breaking unless you yanno drop it or something.http://www.glassattic.com probably has a much better explanation as well as tons of links to what you can do with it.Sami Quote
