Hehehehehehe! Okay, I'm sooooooorrrrrrryyyyyyyyyy (NOT!) Yes, I have been
working my polyclay like a mad woman. I've not put up any new pics the past
few days, but beleive me--if I walk by my table, I'm sitting down to clay!
I've been working on canes--and covering objects, mostly. I now have a
pretty glass covered glass jar with a tension lid, and I covered a wooden
needle case last night but I don't like the results. I'm halfway thru
getting a chrysanthemum(sp) cane just the way I want it, right now.
I'll prolly post some pics tonight.

My advice is to do swirlies first! There are infinite possibilities when
making swirl beads. Oh--if you want your beads to be the same size, make a
log of clay, then measure portions and cut them off--then form your beads.

I would love to swap newbie clay musings with you, Stephanie

I have only recently realized what awesome beads you can make from poly
clay
(by reading this newsgroup and following links). So it's on my I gotta do
next
list. Then Candace just goes and gets clay and starts to make BEADS! Just
like
that! So now I am obsessing. I am going through more and more sites,
reading
instructions, looking at galleries, trying to put off buying clay until I
see
what's left in the bank account. Ahhk. I think about Candace just getting
clay
and making some beads... So I went out and bought some clay yesterday,
it's on
my table, and I am afraid to touch it...Candace, tell me that you have
made
more beads and get me over the last hump into the new obsession, making
beads
from poly clay. It's all your fault I got this far, LOL!

Does anyone one else get hung up like this, taking the final plunge?
