Poly Clay/ wicked Candace

When you find out how much you like it, try the other brands out there. They
will intermix but they are surprisingly different in behaviours... then
order a bunch online (shop around). I have heard of clay partially curing in
the heat.. if you can, wait till its cooler.

Wish I could've sent it to you, Stephie.

Awww, me too.

Well like Diana said, it's cheap. I paid 2.00 for each little block. Is
that
cheap? I got Sculpy III. (all they had) I figure I can find a better price
online if my fingers get happy. I always liked earth clay. I was wondering
if I
got the poly clay in my 120 degree AZ summer mailbox if it would start to
cure...Maybe I better order when It cools down.

I am going to start the Diana method as soon as I get the clothes in the
dryer!!

I love canework the most. Absolutely -=- it kills me.

My advice is to do swirlies first! There are infinite possibilities when
making swirl beads.

I'mma put up some pics of my first canes--they suck, in that I didn't get
exactly what I wanted, but they sure are purdy

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?

Fortunately, my long holiday weekend includes Tuesday and
Wednesday...and a box of stuff I ordered from PMC Supply

I'll either post pics of my results here, or a rant about "stupid PMC!" g.

I wanted to take a class before I tried anything, but couldn't afford a
class *and* supplies, so I'll be giving it a shot on my own. Wish me luck!

Cheers,
Carla

with the idea of getting some to try...with the hot pot thingy...ack!

PMC is pretty easy to learn on your own. I'm not saying I'm good with it
but the little that I've tried hasn't been bad. There are so many online
resources it's easy to find all kind of blends and cane recipes. Have fun!

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

Do you mean PMC (precious metal clay) or polymer clay?
