I wanted to try a mold of this relief. It was a little large for a push mold so I used two part liquid silicone. I put the relief in the bottom of a disposable aluminum pan and sealed it to the bottom using some plasticine type clay I had to minimize [...]
I finally finished this! I started it last year but hadn’t gotten around to the finishing touches until recently. This is a relief that I sculpted using a 6″ ceramic tile for a base. I took the clay off the tile after baking and I’ll probably glue a hanger on the back and make it [...]
A couple people noticed my matrix board at our recent clay weekend so I figured I’d mention it here. If you don’t know about having your own stamps made at Ready Stamps, you should check it out.
You pick or create your own black and white artwork, send it in, and get back a [...]
Helen, from our clay guild, took a few of us down to Waliga’s in Johnston, RI on Tuesday. It’s this great big warehouse filled with all kinds of jewelery merchandise, everything from high end overstock to ancient corroded chains to engraved glass poodle pendants. (I was tempted but I went for a brass [...]

And in other news, I’ve ordered a kiln! I’m going for a Paragon SC3 with the bead door and view window options. (Nothing like overkill and covering for [...]
I went to the Weekend of Clay sponsored by the Southern Connecticut Polymer Clay Guild this past weekend. It was ALOT of fun. Basically there are 4 three-hour workshops taught by guild members and the whole weekend is nothing but clay. And a few snacks and chocolate Which reminds me I need to post my [...]
I enjoyed the following excerpt from an article about a miniature show. We all say, “I could do that” when we look at things, even if it’s silently in our heads. You never realize how involved something is until you actually try it.
Donna Henricks, who will teach a wicker furniture workshop, has [...]
I came across this article on an exhibition of two artists who use polymer clay
Check out the exhibit website where you can see a couple images of the work – looks rather interesting if a little off the wall
