Polymer clay artists are always looking for new and interesting textures to impart on their polymer clay beads. One material that works beautifully for creating unique textures on clay, is lace.<\/span><\/p>\n

The photos above are of three different samples of polymer clay that were given their patterned surfaces, with three different selections of real cloth lace, and pigment ink.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you like this look, then you will enjoy next week’s Vol-020-3 Polymer Clay Video Tutorial<\/a>. In it, I will be teaching the lace texture and ink technique.<\/span><\/p>\n

So now would be a good time to start looking for suitable pieces of lace around your home. You should also purchase a pigment ink stamp pad in the color of your choice, if you don’t have one. You can find where scrapbooking supplies are sold, and even in a lot of dollar stores.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lace can be found in many forms, including: Ribbon and trim; Fabric sheets; Old doilies; and even Window Curtains.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep your eye out for interesting patterns, weaves and designs. Most of you creative folks will probably already have a few pieces of lace in your craft supply bins. But for those of you who do not, you can check fabric stores, dollar stores, the sewing dept of Walmart, and secondhand clothing stores. You won’t need much, just a few inches will do.<\/span><\/p>\n

By the way, does anyone have any good lace stories? As I went searching through the blog to find some fun quotes, there were not many to choose from.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
