Your reference to the shoulder injury reminded me of an article I published a while back about polymer clay being used as a form of art therapy. Here's an excerpt... "A well known polymer clay artist by the name of Mike Devine is a New York City Policeman who looked to polymer clay as a way to help him deal with a particularly traumatic event. He needed something to do during his recovery phase. Today Mike continues to develop his polymer clay skills and says this focus really helps in coping with the many job related stresses he deals with on a daily basis." You can click on the 'Polymer Clay Art Therapy' link by my name above, to read the whole article if you like. In regards to tips on where to buy and how to use polymer clay, you might find this article helpful: <a href="http://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/learn-how-to-make-polymer-clay-beads-and-canes-from-home/2277/" rel="nofollow">Learn How to Make Polymer Clay Beads And Canes From Your Own Home</a> Hi Dave – It’s great to see that you are interested in learning about Polymer Clay.

Color mixing can be a challenge but if you start first by using recipes, you can get a handle on how certain colors of polymer clay will behave. Keep doing that and you will find it becomes easier and easier to get the results you are looking for. Thanks Katina!

I have had my fair share of mixing the wrong colors together. I have never had a course in color theory and learned pretty quickly that is is difficult to always get the desired result. But thanks to your color recipes I'm doing a lot better now! Can you say MUD!! I have had my fair share of mixing the wrong colors together.
