| Barbara McGuire's Frame Stamp by Bead PrintsTM |
||
 From the infinitely
creative mind of Barbara McGuire comes a set of new and original design
images in rubber called Bead Prints. My favorite is the Frame Stamp
(see images to the left). There are nine designs on one sheet measuring
5" x 8" that can be used as outline shapes to make jewelry and
embellishments. The designs are deeply etched and four of the five
distinct shapes are offered in two sizes. The sheet can be cut apart
and trimmed to the exact size of each shape or can be used intact.
McGuire continues to produce amazingly artistic products of great
quality and usefulness for the beginning to advanced polyclayer and
mixed media artist. See more designs and purchase the Frame Stamp at www.beadprints.com. |

 Not
everyone who clays wants a pasta machine, but almost everyone who clays
would like to create smooth, even clay sheets of various and consistent
thicknesses. The Clay Roller Kit from The Mountain Idea company
provides a large rolling area for making clay sheets in four different
thicknesses -- 1/16", 1/8", 3/16", 1/4" -- by using a system of rails
that attach to the sides of the rolling board. The kit includes a the
rolling board, eight rails, and a 10.5" roller. Use the kit with all
air dry, oven bake, and metal clays. Visit The Mountain Idea website
for ordering information. |

| Makin's®
Professional Ultimate Clay Machine |
||
 Craft
industry pioneer Bill Mangelsen has created the ultimate clay machine
and aptly named it the Ultimate Clay Machine. This is not your average
pasta maker. This professional grade tool features a 180mm (7")
super wide non-stick roller with 9 different thickness settings
compatible with standard Atlas pasta maker measurements (#1 setting is
thickest). It is perfect for air dry, oven bake and metal clays and can
be used with a motor for even more convenience. Craftrends magazine has
selected Makin's Ultimate Clay Machine as a finalist in the 14th annual
Craftrends Award of Excellence competition. Makin's Clay products are
distributed in the United States and Canada by Walnut Hollow. For more
