<\/span>These “Spot”<\/em> features are for you guys to display your accomplishments, share stories of inspiration and even ask for assistance with challenges that you may be experiencing. 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 everyone get to know each other a bit better, thanks to this wonderfully artistic medium of polymer clay. And…<\/strong><\/em> by participating, you can win some beads<\/a> too!

Cindy,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I am from Denmark and discovered polymer clay last summer. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve always loved colors and wanted to create something, but I didn’t know what. I tried sewing, knitting, painting – it was fun but not quite it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Polymer clay has become a passion – an addiction. Never before have I been so engrossed in a craft.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then your Puffy Bead<\/a> video arrived and fired my imagination even further!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The gold ones are mica shift and as you can see I used the shavings inside on the black background.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The green one with a stone is Cernit Glamour – polished with some great pads I found recently. Sanding and buffing really turned me off, but the pads make it so much easier!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The white and green hearts: the gold is acrylic paint painted on a plastic bag, where it separates into fascinating shapes which I transfer to the unbaked clay and smooth down.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The white pendant with the 3 stones is stamped with a mixture of Lumiere metallic paints from Jacquard.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you for all your inspiration! Now, I always look forward to your Friday videos!!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
