I prefer to craft with lead.

I talked to Rob from Polymer Clay Express today and wanted to pass on that they now carry all 5 of the Liquid Sculpey colors: Black/Gold/Silver/Copper/Pearl as well as the opaque LS & TLS. This time last year Polyform made a limited amount of the Black/Gold/Silver. The good people of...

I've been out of the clay scene for a while, and I'm wanting to get back into things. I've seen all the clay tools by Polytools and I'm wanting to know which are the most useful/can't live-without-them. Anyone who has worked with them and has positive or negative comments, please let me...

Well......... just ordered some Premo, we shall see...... -- Jackdaw, collector of facts, trivia and bright twinkly things

Would there be any interest in a co-op buy for Premo? I could host it after the first of the year. -- Barbara

Hello I am a newbie to polymer clay. I started this year. My main focus has always been creating jewelry with beads. Some how or another I got side tracked from that when I discovered polymer clay. Previously, I never given the clay a second thought. I just wasn't interested and quite honestly I...

I am in the UK, so... Hi to all you lot over the pond. I was wondering, is it possible to make a "press mould" for Fimo? I need to make a range of small (one inch by two inch ) jewellery type things. I am keeping my designs close to my chest, till I can finalise. Would a silicon mould work, or...

The question is posted here, thanks for any help: http://www.statuaryplace.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=33

Hello All, I am sort of new to Jade Carving. I am trying to make some good carvings from jade (that stuff is hard to cut!)I found someone who sells raw jade on line at http://www.ArtistsWorksOnline.com under the raw jade tab on their navigatin bar. Does somebody here know if the prices they are...

I think of myself as a dedicated hobbyist, I love sculpting and art gives me back more than I put in. I first started working with glass, mirror and polymer clay in an ideal setting, living and working in a theatre production in the Smoky Mountains. My days were free to scout for glass pieces and...

Hello all, I'm new to polymer clay and am enjoying learning more about how to do various things. My current aim is to learn more about photo and image transfers, especially hand-colored work, such as pastels and/or acrylic lettering, etc. My dilemma is that I don't have a color printer in my home....

First thanks to all of you for sharing so much information. I bought the Harbor Freight Bench Grinder but the parts (guards)won't come off. I am new to all of this and want to know if there is a better combo sander/polisher I can buy that isn't too expensive? I don't think I know how to adapt this...

I'm new to pc but am hooked in a big way. I'm using Fimo to cover wine glasses (the top 1" is not covered) but am having a few problems: - after baking, when I look down inside the glass, the pc looks cloudy as if the outside of the glass is covered with fingerprints or residue. I have made sure...

What have you tried recently with polymer clay that you hadnt before? I really like the new Krylon plastics spray paint. Its great for covering base peices of mosaic/collage work, whether extruded or formed plastic or on foam or cardboard. I see there's also a "mystic prism" spray thats clear with...

we've all got a bunch, and thats just what we're admitting to...... sometimes they coalesce and come together, particularly when others are involved, like with swaps. Swaps are fun, and a great way to accumulate a collection of objects as well as techniques. The miniature quilt store "Pieces"...

Is there any sort of varnish that I can paint over my models to protect the paint from being scratched off. At the moment it seems to scratch off a little to easy. Thanks Neo

A Cernit horse sculpture was left in the oven too long, perhaps an hour. The white Cernit has yellowed, and there are tiny lines/delicate cracks on parts of the head. The lines/cracks are really tiny and would probably not be visible through a coat of paint. They're maybe 1/4 inches long. The...

I am looking for polymer clay artists interested in prototype construction. This work would involve construction of prototypes from dimensional drawings. Preference to artists located in the New England area. This is a networking message only, no impending work. Prototypes range from reenforced...
