Work-table Wednesday: trumpets
Played with some slices of that kaleidoscope cane. Tried making some trumpet beads based on PCTs video tutorial. Here’s the result… a pair of earrings. Most of them broke whole I was tying to work with them. Not sure what I did wrong. Too thin maybe? Perhaps clay leaves or a calyx to reinforce that [...]

Been meaning to make this polymer clay ornament for a while (inspired by this link) but was feeling too cheap to buy clear glass ornaments to cover. So when Cindy of Polymer Clay Tutor posted her video about removing the clear coating on said ornaments I wondered if it would remove the paint of the [...]

Work-table Wednesday
Been playing a little with image transfer using gel medium and inkjet prints. This is my second try with alcohol inks (and floor polish as extender): Here’s my first try: It’s getting better but I’m still not there. Wherever “there” is. LOL! Might try a hand colored later copy next. Off to rustle up the [...]
