\"Polymer<\/p>\n

“Polymer – The Chameleon Clay”<\/span><\/i> — An excellent book for learning about making poly clay faux jewelry and beads:<\/span><\/b>
\n<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Faux ivory, jade, turquoise and other natural materials (aka very cool fake stones). <\/span>Sometimes it takes someone from<\/span> half way around the world to get me to write about my favorite polymer clay books. Today’s recommendation is for a book by Victoria Hughes. The title is Polymer – The Chameleon Clay<\/a>\"\".
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the greatest things about the Internet for the jewelry artist is the ability to connect with other artists from all over the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Blogs and websites written thousands of miles away, can be viewed through the click of a mouse. Languages can be translated with automatic translator tools and emails and videos can be sent in an instant.<\/span><\/p>\n

A fantastic example of this amazing level of communication is a letter I received from Marcia in Chile.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hola Cindy!!! mi nombre es Marcia y soy chilena, reci\u00e9n me estoy iniciando en el polymer clay, me gustaria me indicaras la forma de hacer\u00a0 el falso ambar, ya que no he podido encontrar nada. Muchas gracias y car\u00f1os.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hello Cindy! my name is Marcia and I am Chilean, just I am beginning in polymer Clay, gustaria me you would indicate the form to me to make false amber, since I have not been able to find nothing. Thank you very much and car\u00f1os.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As the Polymer Clay Tutor, hardly anything excites me more than being able to teach and learn from people that I would not normally get to interact with. I have never been to Chile and I can not speak Spanish but here we are talking away!<\/span><\/p>\n

Marcia<\/span> – Thank you so much for your comment! I love it that you are writing from Chile!<\/span><\/p>\n

The best book I can recommend on faux amber is Polymer – The Chameleon Clay<\/a>\"\" by Victoria Hughes. This book has excellent, accurate information and great faux stone recipes. The photos of the finished pieces are gorgeous too!<\/span><\/p>\n

Later when I can get some time, I will publish more specific articles about faux techniques and instructions for polymer clay.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hope this helps,
\nCindy Lietz, Polymer Clay Tutor<\/span><\/p>\n

Marcia,<\/span><\/p>\n

Muchas gracias por tu comentario! Me encanta que usted est\u00e1 la escritura de Chile!<\/span><\/p>\n

El mejor libro que puedo recomendar a \u00e1mbar es falsa <\/span>Polymer – el Camale\u00f3n de Arcilla<\/span><\/a>\"\" de Victoria Hughes. Este libro tiene una excelente y precisa informaci\u00f3n falsa y una gran piedra recetas. Las fotos de acabado de piezas son demasiado hermoso!<\/span><\/p>\n

M\u00e1s tarde, cuando pueden obtener alg\u00fan tiempo, voy a publicar m\u00e1s art\u00edculos espec\u00edficos sobre las t\u00e9cnicas de imitaci\u00f3n y las instrucciones de pol\u00edmero de arcilla.<\/span><\/p>\n

Espero que esta ayuda,<\/span>

So even a Chilean Sclupey Clay or Fimo artist like Marcia writing in a language I don’t even understand, can get a little help with her faux amber jewellery making projects. This world keeps getting a little smaller, friendlier and a lot more helpful! Muchas gracias Marcia!<\/span><\/p>\n
