These “Spot”<\/em> features are for you guys to display your accomplishments and share stories of inspiration. The projects are based on techniques learned from articles here at the blog, as well as from tutorials at the Polymer Clay Video Library<\/a>. My hope is for these “Show and Tell”<\/em> features to help you guys get to know each other better through your wonderful creations. I am soooo… proud of everyone’s work!

\"Carved<\/td>\n\n

Wanted to share some exciting news. I took my clay jewelry to 2 shops that sell on consignment. Before taking my goodies out, they both said something like, “Probably not going to be interested in jewelry because we have a lot of that already.”<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then their eyes just about popped out of their heads. They really liked the tribal bead and I have sent you a picture of the long carved bone beads<\/a> I made because I made a few changes to your technique.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I intentionally made the ends irregular to make it look like the bone was snapped off at the end. Instead of rolling the beads long and then threading the baking pin through, I made a log about the size of a midget Tootsie Roll (1\/2 inch), and rolled it on the baking pin until it was the length I wanted; made sure the grain lines stayed vertical. I also took the pin and spun it inside to made the hole bigger. I also flattened some parts so the whole thing was not perfectly round.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I am taking a photoshop class through community adult education.\u00a0 My little pea sized brain has to work hard! I am sure it would be easier for me if it was not after work or I had time to practice. Oh well. all is good.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

My husband has been getting interested in helping me with my clay projects. The only problem is he keeps giving things away to people I don’t even know. Who knows he may be passing my hearts out a Home Depot. Now, I give a lot of my creations away and I love doing that. But, he is giving away pieces the consignment shops ordered!!!! LOL\u00a0 He does not know this yet but today he will be making polymer clay hearts<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
