I love finding uses for "empties", will certainly try the seasoning containers. Also love multi-purpose items (like your textured tumblers.) As far as texture, there are some great threads here at the blog -- check 'em out if you haven't seen them yet. :-) They include not only Cindy's great <a href="http://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/40-texture-ideas-for-polymer-clay-projects-and-sculpey-bead-making/826/">texture ideas</a>, but members' tips, as well (in the comments below, of course...)

I actually have a 99 cent set of fridge magnets that are miniature cooking utensils that I use too. And empty seasoning containers are great for storing wrapped scraps. Oh, and I have a couple of glass tumblers that have neat textures on the sides that I like to stamp with. I use those also to cover pieces that have varathane drying on them to keep dust and stuff away measuring spoons for quick and easy oval and round domes.

I know Dan Cormier uses his version of a potato peeler, so it does seem like a mandolin should work. Will have to keep an eye out for a used one to test it. I would think the cane would need to be pretty cold and perhaps wrapped in scrap clay to keep it from smooshing. I am curious about this too Jocelyn!

Always thought it might work if you sprayed the unit with something like WD40 to make it a smooth motion. If you did, could you share the brand name of the device?

Look for the ones with the smooth blades not the serrated ones if you want a really clean cut!
