Welcome to my world of clay!
This lens is here to showcase my polymer clay artwork and also teach a few tips and tricks for working in polymer clay.
I've included links to excellent books, a few other artists work on eBay, and some polymer clay kits that you can order to try this awesome crafting medium for yourself.
ANYBODY can create beautiful things in polymers. I'm living proof!

This is one of the most useful polymer clay books I've ever purchased.
Detailed instructions show anybody, from polymer novice to expert, how to create beautiful scale model houses, cottages, businesses, even a lighthouse.
A must-have for any polymer clay miniaturist, this book is out of print, but you can find many used copies in very good condition at Amazon.

Polymer Tip!
Remember, do NOT mix different brands or types of clay in a project. Each clay has its own baking needs and mixing them will end up with an unsatisfactory result.
This includes combining different types of clay from one maker, such as Sculpey, Sculpey III, and Premo.

Fun stuff. Being a sculptor, I love clay, but I've never tried polymer. Looks like you know your stuff and I'll have to check it out. Thanks for your kind comments on my lens Lions, Fu Dogs and Bears (Oh My!). Posted February 09, 2008 |
