Red Polymer Clay

Hello Cindy

Happy New Year! I've started off the new year with a really bad sore throat and cold!!! I have a question for you; in your recipes you mention so many different color clays. I cannot find anything but the basic colors at my craft store. Where do you buy your clay? There is a clay store here in Ottawa but they do not have a website and it makes it difficult to order. I would have preferred to buy in Canada itself to avoid the custom duties etc.

I would really appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Cheryl

Thanks for your question Cheryl! Believe it or not, I've bought all my clay at Michaels when they have their $1 sales. (I bought a hundred blocks last time and cleaned out the store!)

But I just did a web search and found a Canadian distributor in Ottawa called KJP Crafts that has all the colors, even the new ones. They ship (inside Canada only) but if you contact them, maybe you can pick it up. Just Google them, they're easy to find.

Hi Shari thanks for your comment! I'm sorry but I do not have a recipe for Garnet at this time. Perhaps you can find some Garnet colored glass beads or real stones and make some polymer clay beads in a complimentary shade to go with them?

Hi Shari

Here's a recipe I found for 'garnet' on Polymer Clay Central. If you try it out let me know how it worked.
Garnet (Fimo):

½ block OO Art Translucent
1/64 block #23 Bordeaux
