http://www.jaedworks.com/clayspot/techniques/turquoise.html
and I'm going to try it but I have a doubt: between step 3 and 4, do you
wait for the paint to dry?

Fimo Soft deforming when baking twice by
enui
Among other things I'm working on a torc (torque?)
I used a clay gun to make the basic shape with fimo soft, two pieces of
twisted rope connected by a small cilinder; I baked it in the oven and
let it cool completely in the oven so it would stay flexible.
After a while I added a layer of gold fimo...

Best clay for charms by
Marisa Cappetta
Hi, all. I want to make some charms and would like to know which clay is the
strongest for this purpose. I've used Fimo Sculpey and applied some pressure
tests and it seems to break fairly easily. I'd appreciate any
recommendations.

transfers - still complicated? by
kellyK
How is the search for inexpensive ways of transferring images onto clay
(raw
or otherwise) with INK JET printers *without* hassle or expensive transfer
papers coming? I'd like to try to develop a way, but I don't have the
patience to reinvent the wheel.

To drill or pre-pierce? by
What are the reasons one would drill a bead after baking instead of piercing
it while soft? How do you drill a squirming, rolling bead, (i.e. what
drill, how do you keep it still, etc?)
Many thanks from a real newbie!

Old vs new 'enhanced' inkjet paper by
kellyK
I've been playing around with some epson Stylus-Pro printer paper (doing
transfers), but I've noticed in Glass-Attic that the S041062 order-number
switched 'formula' at some point. This paper I have is about 3 years old,
so I'm assuming I have the 'old' kind. Is it still 'no go' with the...

glass attic question by
kellyK
I know I'd been away from polymer clay for awhile, but it seems my memory is
failing... did Laurel Nevans originate Glass Attic? I thought someone else
did, but Laurel's home page seems to suggest that she began it -- or maybe
I'm just reading it incorrectly. Or I *could* chalk it up to still...

seed bead tube storage by
Carla
A couple of months ago, I saw a plastic ammo case used for storing clay
canes. I thought that would also be a good way to store tubes of seed
beads, to keep them upright and easily accessible, etc.
Unfortunately, I can't remember the website I saw it on. I've gone
looking for "plastic ammo...

Barbara--clay donation by

Barbara - the clay arrived yesterday, and the kids dug right in. One made a
lightswitch cover, another made an adorable teddybear, and one of the
seniors added to the 'red hat lady' she is making. Thanks so much for the
sampler -- you should be getting a formal thank you letter from Hope...
