Hi Melanie! Are you making a snow globe or something? I actually don’t know how polymer clay will hold up submerged in oil. That is something you would have to test. I do know it will hold up in water though. Let me know how your experiment turns out!

Hello! I have a silly question. Would a Fimo holeless bead swell or crumble if permanently submerged in baby oil? Thanks!

Hooray! How simple and effective. I was thinking of getting a “white-dedicated” pasta machine… but now I don’t have to. Thanks for saving me some money.

Yeah I know! When I filmed it I thought is this too simple?… Then I thought, this one tiny trick alone has saved me tons of grief! Everyone should know about it! I’m glad it was helpful for you!

Thank you so much for purchasing the membership and all your kind comments! It is because of people like you, all the time, money and effort I’ve put into this is worth it! Thanks again Carol!

Hi Cindy:
I had to really laugh when I saw this simple, but very clever trick to clean white clay. I can’t tell you how many times, I decided that my white clay was going to have to be mixed with something else because of the colour that was being picked up off of my past machine.
I’m really glad that I bought my membership, because now that money has saved me much more in white clay.

That's great Marianne! I find it funny, kids grown up and I'm still buying baby wipes and baby oil! Cindy Lietz's last blog post..Millefiori Beads by Polymer Clay Cane Artist Iris Mishly [Israel]

@Garnie: That’s too funny! Would really love a little ESP skills though… would help with parenting and so many things!!

Sue is definitely right here…you ARE psychic!! :) Or how about maybe it’s ESP? Was just “trying” rubbing alcohol last night on stained/streaky white clay..and it works soooo good!
(baby wipes are great, too)
