New to polyclay( sort of ) so this is an intro
I am trying my hand at making jewellery in polyclay, Fimo to be exact, with
a view to sell my own designs the coming year at "Craft Shows" and Craft Markets in the U.K. I am a sixty three year old graphic designer and "crafter" and have experimented with Fimo in the past, but now,as my circumstances seem to be changing, and at Craft Shows, jewellery sells better than my wooden stuff, I have decided that a new direction is called for. I will keep posting here for advice and tips( if that's OK with you all? Oh and a Happy and Prosperous New Year. -- Jackdaw, collector of facts, trivia and bright twinkly things Visit my site at www.jackdaw-crafts.co.uk |

New to polyclay( sort of ) so this is an intro
Hi! I'm new to polymer clay, as well. I'm attempting to make photo
transfer jewelry with Premo Sculpey. I tried using Lazertran Silk to transfer my photos to the polymer clay before it is baked, but I got gaps and cracks in the images. So now I'm just making the "beads" out of the clay and transferring the images with Lazertran Inkjet after the clay is baked. I hope to take a polymer clay class soon and learn more! Polymer clay is a great medium, and I'm looking forward to bettering my technique in the New Year! Happy 2007 to everyone! ~ Ann Dicon wrote: I am trying my hand at making jewellery in polyclay, Fimo to be exact, with a view to sell my own designs the coming year at "Craft Shows" and Craft Markets in the U.K. I am a sixty three year old graphic designer and "crafter" and have experimented with Fimo in the past, but now,as my circumstances seem to be changing, and at Craft Shows, jewellery sells better than my wooden stuff, I have decided that a new direction is called for.

Sarajane If you visit my site www.jackdaw-crafts.co.uk you will sea a lot of old stuff that has now been mostly sold. I really must get rid of the sold and add new. My life style has to change as the result of partners illness. Trips with large stuff to fairs will soon be a thing of the past. Jewellery can be sent to galleries in the post. I am doing well at galleries, far more than we ever did at the shows. Also, there is so much that can be done with polyclay that my interest have been re-kindled.I was getting bored with doing the same old wooden things, I like a challenge! Nice to hear from you.

Dear Ann,
Don't give up on the transfers before baking. They have to sit at least 30 minutes before putting them in the water and the clay must be soft and smooth. Of course in some instances, I deliberately make the clay crackled over the transfer to achieve an old looking piece. Check out my site at www.rubysransom.com and you can see some of the work I've done with transfers. Good luck to you in 2007! Ruby On Jan 1, 8:40 am, "annwidner" wrote: Hi!
