A Little Bit of This - A Little Bit of That By Jeannie Havel |
|
|
The
working title for this column was "Clay Scraps" but I strongly believe
that no such thing exists. So, I went to my fabulous Editorial Advisory
Board and they came up with a variety of titles. We settled on "Clay
Crumbs." Crumbs are those little things that aren't quite big enough to
stand on their own, but represent a treat nonetheless. Here is a little
bit of this and a little bit of that -- I hope you have fun with these
"crumbs."

|
Be
sure to check out the exciting new releases in this video series from
well known polymer clay artists, Nan Roche and Sarah Shriver.
Transform
polymer clay into jewelry that emulates ancient structures such as
chain main, loop-in-loop chains, plaiting and braids. Learn to extrude
polymer clay with layers of color within and use these as your 'wire'
or 'fiber'. The Asian influenced ancient surfaces presented are faux
cloisonné and lacquer work using Nan's unique techniques of
captured foil and punched foil. Learn how to rivet with polymer clay
while making a neckpiece from components made with these surfaces. You
will make integrated findings with polymer clay and Buna rubber.
Finally the detailed finishing techniques taught (sanding, polishing)
will result in truly professional results. This video presents 7
projects and includes material from 3 days of Nan's workshops. Run
Time: 2 Hr 29 Mins  Intricate Kaleidoscope Caning
with Sarah ShriverLearn how to build canes with surprising depth and movement, as Sarah teaches you how to build blocks of undulating color into a simple cane with the illusion of an over-under weave. Sarah will
also show you her kaleidoscoping techniques, revealing the myriad of
intricately patterned canes living within your own creations. |

| "Polymer Clay Your Way" |
||
| Sometimes a new business chooses a
name that describes not only what they do, but also describes their
business philosophy. This is such the case with "Polymer Clay Your Way"
a new supplier of polymer clay tools, equipment, and well, polymer clay. PC Your Way, for short, is the brainchild of two good friends and business partners, RickieBeth and Cheryl D. What are their last names? It's easy enough to find out, but you won't need them, because these ladies are on a first name basis with everyone. Among the many items carried at Polymer Clay Your Way, you'll find high quality clay shapers from Forsline & Star; the newly released Pro-Bead Roller Sets by Poly-Tools (all 4 of the sets are now available), as well as the wonderful lightweight aluminum bead rack and the cane slicer. In addition, they carry four signature texture sheets by Lisa Pavelka along with her Poly Bonder Glue; and a full range of KATO Poly Clay. To
promote their new business, RickieBeth and Cheryl D are developing an
interesting website with polymer pal Nora Jean Gatine. Nora Jean is the
same "NJ" in this month's article about the MSAT group. As
soon as the website is up and ready to go, I'll post the address for
you. In the meantime, the ladies have a newsletter that tells their
story better than I can here. You can read it for yourself: www.polymerclayyourway.com/index.html.
