Experimenting with poly clay

[glw20109]

I was following a tutorial on you tube, but really blew it. So I took the scrap and practiced making some blanks. These are just for practice and learning. Wrapped the clay around some odd 7mm tubes I had laying around. What I am finding is if you don't like the way it looks, tear it off and start over. You can get some real interesting patterns. Some day I will get better, make some different canes, bulls eyes, stars, flowers, and leaves to make something other than random patterns. It is not that expensive to get into, Hobby Lobby usually has everything you need, if not Amazon does. There are tons of polymer clay tutorials on you tube to learn from.

I like them! Especially the second one. The clay is durable and retains colors very well over the years.

Thanks for the post. I was looking at the poly clay at HL which is about 2 miles away. Wife and I go in just to look. She usually buys something in the fabric section.

Nothing lost giving it a try, plenty of tutorials on you tube that you can adapt to pens. The biggest thing I discovered it my oven is 20 - 30 cooler than the digital display says!
