all I get these days from this newsgroup is porn... is there anyone out there? -- judy c on Vancouver Island

hi there! Here's an updated look at the miniature quilt store "Pieces". Its finished, at least for the moment, and everything else is getting there too. Its in fashion doll scale, and if Barbie quilted, she'd shop here. The deadline clock is ticking; our book is coming out in just a few...

what's everyone's opinion on fingerprints on work? so far i am not a sanding and polishing kind of gal, i don't think i'd like the finish on a figure if i did that. How do your customers feel about it? Is it considered unprofessional or sloppy to leave your mark, so to speak? I personally feel...

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with Makins' new pasta machine. My Trattorina got smushed during a recent move (ouch), and I can't afford to get a new one, so I'm trying to decide whether to get an Atlas 180 or the new toy in town. Since Makins' pasta machine was made specifically for...

A couple of list members have asked to see some picture of the first pieces I've be doing since starting up. Well, thanks to Lukabara, I now have my own webpage: http://hobbystage.net/art/amealer Take a look, if you'd like! Allen Birmingham, AL

I have been messing around with sealing paper between layers of clay and thought I'd relay some of my experiences in case anyone else is interested. The basic idea is to draw a picture on paper, paint it with acrylic paints, cut it out with a scalpel or exacto knife and bake it in a sandwich...

You know how one little change can require an entire roomfull be adjusted? I traded beads for some bookshelves, to be able to get all the boxes of books OFF the floor of my studio. This however required making wall space...which required going through 8 years of accumulated STUFF that was on the...

I read about this or something similar --something with elasticity-- in a jewelry magazine. And then I think Barbara Maguire, on the Carol D. show, mentioned it (without an actual name) yesterday. I've been keeping an eye out when I go in Michaels, which is pretty much the only craft store I visit...

Question from a clueless newbie: I finally got up the nerve to bake my first pieces - thankfully, all of them tests. Now I'm wondering how I can tell if I've baked them enough/too much. I baked very thin pieces of Sculpty III (1/16") for 20 min. at 275 degrees. They came out quite brittle and...

Q?: I do wish they would invent a wysiwyg type web page builder that would work with all the currently popular...

Do you have a favorite recipe to make the color Burgandy using Premo? The only recipe I found on glassattic was 8 parts red to one part black. Id like to hear if anyone else has a favorite way to make it. Thanks! Diana -- http://photos.yahoo.com/lunamom44

Hello! I just don't have time to do shows or sell my creations in the normal everyday ways. Until life settles down I'm going to try some auction sights. If you buy things on any of the auction sites, would you take a look at these and let me know what you think? Plus any suggestions you have...

Hi! Can any of you recommend a good beginners book? There are SO many books out there, I need some guidance! I want to use my clay to cover things, to make jewelry and rubber stamp on - I do have a Atlas Pasta Machine (I have used it with Paper Clay), so I am a step ahead : ) What book do you...

Is there a type of polymer clay that is stiff? Sculpy2 is just too soft for the work I'm doing. Thank you

Hello all, I signed up a few days ago. I have recently started working with polymer-clay. I love it! a bit about me: I am 34 y/o, a DH, DS 15, DS 13. My job is shift work so I have lots of time to "play". Fortunately DH puts up with my "inspirations" and doesn't mind if I let the housework go!...

Hello all Does anyone have suggestions on where or how I could learn techniques to put fur like viscose on my sculptured animals? I can just picture adding one hair at a time with tweezers, but surely there are specific techiques, tools and specifcally the proper adhesive for gluing fur to...

I have some very basic questions for the polymer clay artists. Where does it all go after making it??? Should that even matter?? I sell on Just Beads and eBay. Some goes to friends and family but I just enjoy making things. Perhaps I should have an overall plan for my work? or not :-) I have...
