Vid #140:<\/span> “I am excited about the new video tutorials especially the Lace and Ink Textures.” ~Lupe-M<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The other day we had a preliminary discussion about this lace and ink texture<\/a>, polymer clay technique. And today you get to see the sneak peek video. Then, coming up on Friday January 22nd, the full video tutorial will be posted in the Polymer Clay Members Library<\/a> as Volume-020-3.<\/span><\/p>\n This is a beautiful and easy technique you can use to make beads, pendants and charms for a variety of romantic or sentimental jewelry pieces. And because it is such a lovely surface technique for polymer clay, it combines well with other techniques.<\/span><\/p>\n When I saw this technique, I thought of my grandma right away. I can’t remember a time when she wasn’t crocheting, embroidering or sewing. It would be a wonderful way to honor her memory, using either remnants of lace from her sewing or items she created by hand. The pieces could make meaningful gifts for family too. <\/span>~DJ<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Cindy, I am excited about the new video tutorials especially the Lace and Ink Textures and the Tribal Canes<\/a>. I can’t seem to give you enough thanks for putting them together for us each week. It requires a lot of work and dedication… so I agree with Elizabeth<\/a>, you should get an award for Teacher of the year… of this decade! Best wishes to you and your entire family and a very Happy New Year!<\/span> ~Lupe-M<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Supplies & Tools: Video-020-3: Lace and Ink Technique:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n I live about 30 miles away from Nottingham, which is famous for machine lace-making (yes it’s the same Nottingham from the Robin Hood stories). I’ve just remembered I have an old pair of lace curtains which I use to shade my greenhouse in the summer, I guess I could use that.<\/span> ~Silverleaf<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n I found some lace in one of the drawers of the sewing cabinet that once was my grandmother’s. She used to make little clowns, stuffed with the punches from her s-i-l’s hole punch. I still have one of the clowns – no lace on him. She used to donate them to hospitals. Anyway, along with lots of rick-rack, and seam binding, I found some lace hem facing. I pass this along now for those of you who might be looking for lace for this project. This should work just great. Now all I need is a pigment ink stamp pad. The full version of the Vid-020-3 Lace and Ink Tutorial will be posted in the Polymer Clay Members Library on Friday January 22nd, 2010. But if you would like to see a sneak peek intro clip<\/a> right now, scroll down the page a bit to the video player below.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
