Member Benefits 004-4: Color Mixing

I love the two shades of green. It really brings more dimension to a piece when I can emulate light and shadow. ~Kimberlee @ Sunflower Polymer Clay Colors Can you say MUD!! I have had my fair share of mixing the wrong colors together. I have never had a course in color theory and learned […]


Member Benefits 004-3: Cane Making

I have tried several canes and they have not worked well, but what the heck. Adventure is the name of the game, and try, try again is what we as clay artist should do. It’s like a runner going for 26 miles and hitting a brick wall at 24 miles. We need to push through […]

Member Benefits 003-2: Jewelry and Projects

Cindy – I love them! I’m glad to find a kindred spirit who isn’t afraid to wear something a little (a lot?) different. Couple of questions. Did you use translucent clay? It’s a beautiful effect.
