Just a few signs that you probably think too much about polymer clay:
You snap your glasses and try to mend the bridge with a snake of metallic gold polymer clay before it occurs to you to get them mended at, y'know, the opticians.
You catch sight of your latest blue-to-purple Skinner blend and your immediate thought is, "That is so sexy..."
You condition polymer clay in one hand while you're reading/watching TV/eating/in the bath (okay, I've never done that last one).
You pick up a magazine you haven't read for 3 months, and find an actual skinner blend tucked between the pages (sidenote: you wouldn't believe how much plasticizer had leeched off into the paper!)
Other signs of Polymer Clay Addiction
Lol - I love the thought of you finding a skinner blend stuck in your magazine! By the way, huuuuge congrats on your piece in Making Jewellery - how fab is that?! And as it's your gorgeous poppies, I'm very tempted to have a go - although I wouldn't hold your breath about the results, my beads are basic at best, and I've never had the patience to even attempt a cane! x
ReplyDeleteHee, I was a bit shocked to see the blend there! Then of course, I had to spend ages trying to get it back to a useable state, because I hate to waste good clay *G*
ReplyDeleteThank you re: the tutorial. I hope you do have a go, I'd love to see it (and btw, I loved the polymer clay pieces you made at Xmas - not basic at all!)
Thank you, Hazel! Doesn't seem much that's very clever about using a cutter and some glitter compared with your canes, though. I really need a pasta machine that actually works before I have a go, unfortunately! :(
ReplyDeleteLol, anything can sound 'unclever' when you say it like that Louise - my canes could be called slotting clay shapes together! But making glittery beads look good like yours did is a skill in itself.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I think many of the same things but not with polymer clay. I tried to fix my husband's glass by riveting them (total failure).
ReplyDeletelol, oh dear - I can just imagine an army of jewellery artists (and their partners) with riveted glasses, if only that idea had worked. I kind of wish it had - it has design potential!
