All I can think of is those early pics I've seen of the Russian palace's Amber Room. Sadly it was dismantled and lost during WWII, though some gemologists think a lot of the amber circulating in Europe is based from this room. Such a loss! As a matter of fact, anything that relates to prehistory would be great. The faux bone tut and the imbed tut are perfect, as is the faux turquoise. Amber was a biggie, because it floated up on the salt water shorelines. Maybe for the kids, you have a dinosaur bone or track idea? Hahahah, the image of a chicken wing sticking out of a piece of clay...... Cindy, to add to the wish list of future tuts…..please please some different types of amber (maybe with imbeds/) and copal.

Thing is I have a beautiful Kenwood major but the processor bowl is so small and awkward to use I still use my old Braun FP. Its so old you can't get replacement bowls anymore. Tsk tsk. Didn't find a transistor either! Catalina - that would be great! I'm all for easy! Hey Ken, well i looked today but found nothing.

I tried some and it's Ok. Very soft but bakes nice and hard and seems durable. Great for sculpting, molding or very detail work. I won't use it for beads unless you mix it with premo or fimo. No, they are not replacing it for any of the current polymer clays, Sculptey III, Premo, and Fimo. The Bead aisle has been UPGRADED and moved to the front of most stores for several reasons. One reason is for better visibility. Ken, Wow, your Michaels tested the new clay! Here in Michigan we have not had it as of yet. Since you "wiped" them out it will give Corp. a good reason to make it available chain wide! Thanks!! (The 2 week clay sale was a first! I took advantage of it, as well!) Also, if Michaels runs out of clay when it is on sale, ask for a raincheck. Then you can still get the sale price when they get more in. Polyanya, I came up with a type of "turquoise". I call it my "Catalina Turquoise". I don't have any made right now but I'll make some and send Cindy the photos. If you like them I'll try to let you all know how I did it. .

I'm off to a large flea market tomorrow to hunt out an old transistor radio for when the power goes off, as it frequently does due to the winter storms - I'll see if I can find anything.
