Kathy would probably love it! I know what you mean about the elf hat. Was even distracting to wear! :-) I think the formula for Premo has hardened up a bit. Probably in reaction to everyone flipping out about it being too soft. Frankly I don't mind it being a little firm, makes nicer canes that way, though when it takes forever to condition, it's a pain! You can sell canes such as Mokume Gane on Etsy or Artfire if you want. Lot's of people are doing that sort of thing. I'd do some research on Etsy first, to see if it would be worth your while. Make sure to understand how much your supplies and time are costing you, so you don't under price yourself and lose money. That might work Anna to hound Ellen… you never know!

I never would have found the Tuscan piece if you had not mentioned the red flowers. I was really distracted by the elf outfit. Do you know if the Premo formula has changed. I just opened some of my new packages I got a few weeks ago. Was harder that past ones and and hard to condition, tried warming it up by sitting on it but it just never softened. I also had trouble sealing the edges of 2 pieces together. When trying to use white and finally added in some Sculpy III. I hope this is not the new formula! I made a big block of Mokume Gane today and will send you some pictures. I was thinking of maybe trying to sell the raw block on Etsy, my thinking was some clayers may want to have the Mokume Gane technique but just don't want to go through the process or don't know how. Any thoughts? We may need to start hound Ellen to have Kathy on the show; there are lots of PCers out there.

I laughed my guts out! I don't think she did ever get on the show. Though she tried pretty hard eh? I've been following Kathy for awhile now and love everything she does. She even has her own line of products now and is becoming quite the success! I know! I laughed my guts out! I don’t think she did ever get on the show. Though she tried pretty hard eh?

Did she ever get onto the Ellen show?

I also think there is such a thing as WAY too much glitter, and I can see how some people might want to ban it entirely in order to address THAT issue. ;)</p> I think glitter, when used properly and sparingly, can be a great crafting supply.

I hope Ellen responds to you Kathy. What kind of resin did you use in one of the projects? That is a great solution! How cute is that!? I hope Ellen responds to you Kathy.
