Poly Clay/ wicked Candace
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? ...Stephanie.. search RCB http://tinyurl.com/5wm36 |

Break open that clay, take a pinch.. mush it..squish it!!! make a little
ball... flatten it... now take a second color... mush that.. .squish it! make another ball.. pinch it into a little ducky... smooosh those two colors together.. twist and skew it around... Its inexpensive. You cant waste it... it just becomes mud and thats valuable too! Which brand did you get? You are DOOMED!!! lol...

I once had a TON of polymer clay. I offered it for free here, and sent it to
someone in Florida who saw my offer here. That package was heavy! Guess what? I never heard from that person again, and as far as I can tell, they vanished from RCB, too. I love to give things to people freely, but I felt taken. Wish I could've sent it to you, Stephie.

we might find out soon...since Sooz mentioned her PMC-ing, I've been doodling
with the idea of getting some to try...with the hot pot thingy...ack! Fiddy, DO IT!! But I strongly suggest taking a class. PMC requires odd techniques so it doesn't collapse it the kiln/hot pot, or fall apart, or just not work. You really need to take a class -- but they're popping up everywhere. Google it for your area -- I KNOW there are some down there. ~~ Sooz To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong. ~~Joseph Chilton Pearce |

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!! ...Stephanie.. search RCB http://tinyurl.com/5wm36 |

The mailbox will only help condition the clay. That would be good.

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 -- ~Candace~ Orphan Beads ~low cost and bartering for the financially challenged beader~ http://snipurl.com/6s4t Princess Auctions ~please see for most current updates and auction information~ http://snipurl.com/8s8o "Stephanie" wrote in message ...
