\"PolymerizedVid #188:<\/span> <\/span><\/strong>“A polycloth
rose is huge on the
WOW<\/em> scale for me!”

According to Wikipedia, Serendipity means, “a propensity for making fortunate discoveries while looking for something unrelated.”<\/em> Well… when it comes to polymer clay, this happens to me all the time.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, just after publishing the teaser video for my new Polymerized Cloth Technique<\/a>, I came across an interesting article from Tip Junkie<\/a> that showed a paper flower made out of recycled magazines. This led me to the Frugal Life Project<\/a> blog which linked to a tutorial on making paper roses that Splitcoaststampers<\/a> did back in May 2010.<\/span><\/p>\n

During this little serendipitous journey, I realized that the paper flower making technique could be easily adapted to work with polymerized cloth for making beautiful fabric roses<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cindy, I am really inspired by the Polymerized Fabric technique. I have been working on combining my love of fiber with my love of jewelry and polymer clay. This is the perfect marriage. Your Fabric Rose is wonderful!!<\/span><\/span>

<\/span>This feeling – being passionate about something – is one I haven’t experienced in many years, and your work has played a big part. I simply cannot thank you enough. Serendipity is always such a wonderful surprise, and that\u2019s what happened – the warm weather, the magazine, your course. I never expected any of them, but together they have set me on a course that I’m thoroughly enjoying.<\/span><\/span> <\/span>~Linda-D<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I love when something unexpected and beautiful happens! Definitely serendipity. <\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span>~Silverleaf <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The art is in the serendipity of the process. <\/span><\/span> ~Lisa-R<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Health experts are always telling seniors (I guess being in my late 70’s qualifies me) to learn new things to keep the brain active. Your tutes are definitely keeping my brain buzzing. A polymer cloth rose next??? Wow – bring it on !!<\/span><\/span> ~Fran-R<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Well… <\/em>coming up tomorrow (Friday, January 21st, 2011) at the Polymer Clay Library<\/a> I will demonstrate how to use the polymerized cloth you guys made in the Vol-032-1 tutorial, to make some beautiful Polymer Fabric Roses.<\/span> <\/span> <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Please Note:<\/strong><\/span> A general prerequisite for all of my weekly tutorials is that you have a good understanding of the polymer clay basics, including: conditioning clay, using a pasta machine, clay blade and other simple tools, making Skinner Blends or Teardrop Blends, baking clay, as well as sanding and finishing. If you need help in these areas, my Polymer Clay Beginners Course<\/a> will get you up to speed quickly. There is also plenty of free information on this blog.
