It's been such a long time since I poked in here. Life kinda took over, but I'm baa--ack!. (Some of you may know me from other venues.) Anyhoo, I'm wondering how many of you are planning on coming out to Washington for Ravensdale this Summer? I'm really looking forward to getting together...

Any good sites for purchasing raw materials I am in the UK Thanks

I actually sent that loser money in the amount of $0.01. According to his paypal record, he only received one payment to date, and I know that that one is mine. And that despite having spammed the entire usenet. He got one penny and got his usenet account closed. i

You might want to try a "bead roller", they are plastic doohickeys you use to roll a bead shape, they come with holes that you use to guide a pin through, since it is still in the shaped bead trough it doesn't distort. They make a few different shape beads. I am using canes but only abstract...

No, I don't always use canes for my beads. Sometimes I use solid colors and make swirlies, or scrap clay and cover with mica powders or paints...or use inclusions in translucent clay...or...lol. As far as holes go, it takes practice. I rarely pre-drill my beads before baking. I find it easier to...

I'm very impressed with your work. Loved the shells and fossil ideas. I collected a lot of shells over the summer and wondered if they were strong enough to make molds with. I'll just have to give it a try. Lynne "PoRRo" wrote in...

Hi Shannon, You might want to check out my page on baking polymer for all kinds of ideas and variables, including other ways to cure. (I don't think 150 degrees will get you much though!) Since you're an experiment kind of person g, you might want to do the oven tests that are explained there...

Thanks Sarajane, I do like to get my shinies shiny! Makes them a bugger to scan though ;-( How are you anyway? Long time no speak! Hope the Celebrations book is doing well - my copy did finally arrive from Amazon.co.uk and I love it. I dont know if I told you, but when I was teaching those...

For an even wedge try this... Leave one side at table height (flat) on opposite side of clay (base of wedge) have a stack of cards or other solid surface. Use a brayer or other roller to smooth the clay along this incline creating an even wedge shape. To match the curve... Use similiar method to...

oooh, oooh! I know this one! Toss some in water! If they dissolve, they're cornstarch. If kids see you doing this, plan on losing some of your supply, because it's fun. You can use these to make hollow beads or structures, & you can use them to prop things up during baking, & you can probably...

Here are some I recommend: http://snipurl.com/swel Barbara Beader and Polymer Clay Crusader http://www.penguintrax.com and http://www.backseatgrammarian.com There is a very fine line between a hobby and mental illness. (Dave Barry)

If you are referring to Precious Metal Clay the answer is, I think so, check with the folks over in rec.crafts.beads, they know for sure. If you mean polyclay the answer is no. Polyclay (which is what we know talk about here) cures at a much lower temp. Diana pauly12345 wrote in...
