Plus Some Kind Musings From Sandy’s Simple Inspiration Polymer Clay Blog:

Friday was an exciting day for the extended unveiling of my tutorial video on how to use teardrop shaped pieces of polymer clay to make color blends and<\/span> gradients. That’s because my friends Chica and Jo, were gracious enough to help get the word out in their weekly Feature Friday article.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can read it here: Teardrop Method for Polymer Clay Blends
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

I would also like to give a special shout out to Sandy of Simple Inspirations for the blog article and kind words she posted earlier this week. Here’s that link: Cindy Lietz’s New Method for Skinner Blends<\/a>

Sandy regularly publishes musings about her hobbies with a current focus on polymer clay… which is why her RSS feed has been in my Google Reader for quite some time now. Thanks Sandy for all of the contributions you make to the polymer clay community.<\/span><\/p>\n

With Chica and Jo, I was first introduced to their craft site just this past December 2008. That’s when they published a wonderful polymer clay tutorial for making a Christmas Advent Calendar House<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is such a cute idea… a tiny polymer clay house with lots of tiny polymer clay accessories such as a Christmas tree, a table with a plate of cookies, a rug, little candles, a fireplace, stockings, presents, kids, a dog… you get the idea.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each day leading up to Christmas, you add one item to the house. Can you imagine how fun that would be for your kids? My daughter would be rearranging the furniture over and over till she got it how she wanted. And then my son would move the dog onto the table to eat the cookies!<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s a great tutorial and you should check it out. However instead of Sculpey III I would use Premo since it is a lot stronger. You’ll want something wonderful like this to last for years and years.<\/span><\/p>\n

You also may want to check out some of Chica and Jo’s other crafting projects. I love the rainbow frosting idea for cupcakes, and the neat desk organizer using a recycled phone book!<\/span><\/p>\n

Enjoy… or better yet as Chica And Jo would say… “Enjoy Tackling Life, One Project at a Time.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
