| Polyform Products Updates
Website A new look at www.sculpey.com |
||
|
We've
been hearing about changes at Polyform
Products -- everything from
staff changes to discontinuation of the some of the one pound bars of
Premo. Some of it is fact, and some of it might be rumor, but we know
for certain, that Polyform has updated their website.
Take a look at www.sculpey.com. The site has a more modern look and is better organized than before. There are more tutorial categories and each category has been better defined into Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. You'll still find plenty of product information and project ideas, just in a much nicer format. |

| Multi-Size Clay Cutters |
||
Many of you seem to be searching
for clay cutters in multiple sizes. If you haven't already found a slew
of them at Polymer Clay
Express, just check out the Wilton cake decorating section of
your favorite craft store. Wilton
has a line of cutters called, "Cut-Outs" that include round, flower,
funny flower, heart, and leaf shapes. Each pack contains three
stainless steel cutters -- from 5/8 in. to 2 1/2 in -- and retails for about $2.49.

| Kato Clay Can Take the Heat |
||
| According to information in a
recent issue of the Van Aken newsletter, Kato PolyClay is formulated to
withstand baking temperatures of up to 300 degrees. While we have had
no first-hand experience with this, the news comes from a very reliable
source, so we are putting our money on the fact that it's true. For
more information, contact Van Aken by email at: info@vanaken.com. |

| My First Landscape Cane |
||
After watching a Mike Buesseler
landscaping video, I attempted a landscape cane. This one has over 50
individual cuts to insert the various pieces of the cane. I made it by
first creating Skinner blends, then making angle cuts to insert the
"islands" and "mountains." It was quite an adventure. You can borrow
the video from the NPCG library if
you are a member. |
