The unique topic for today focuses on inlaying.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">This simple polymer clay technique allows you to utilize scraps and trimmings, by embedding selected bits and pieces into a pendant sized base of soft clay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> The project will end up looking as if you have spent hours intricately carving and inserting inlaid bone chips, stone and\/or wood fragments. When in actuality, you were able to do everything quite quickly and easily without a lot of fuss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">On Friday Feb 19th in the Polymer Clay Video Library (Vol-021-3), you will learn everything necessary to get started creating beautiful pendants adorned with unique inlaid patterns and designs.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Inlay is something I&#8217;ve always wanted to try. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Jakie-M<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Cindy, the inlay technique was very high on my list of learning so it is great that it is coming soon.

That does look incredibly real&#8211;so glossy and gorgeous! I can&#8217;t wait to learn it. I have quite a few polymer clay books that show various inlays and fauxs, but I never tackled them. I&#8217;m so happy this will be in the February videos.
