Have you ever watched glass artists working on melted glass, blowing on them, shaping them and then finally plunging the product they have created in cold water to finish it.. or have you looked at potters simply slap on some mud clay on to their potter’s wheel as they shape it into different shapes. Then they have the delight of baking their creations in the clay and glazing them if they want to embellish them further. All these processes leave us longing to work on such creations that involve your creative mind and your hands. We often do not proceed with such works of art because the process of learning to do so and acquiring the material to work on these can be expensive and time consuming. The long process of learning and the investment of time and money required in this process tends to discourage most people. That is why you may be delighted to learn that there is an element called polymer clay that allows you to create works of art but in a simpler and quicker manner. It is so easy that you can include polymer clay art in the craft ideas that kids can use to make homemade gifts, except for the baking aspect.
Polymer clay 2016
In this beginner friendly tutorial I demonstrate how to make three simple polymer clay leaf canes from a single skinner blend.
I sculpt whimsical fantasy sculptures, figurines, and, depending on the season, holiday ornaments with polymer clay and acrylic paint.
A little over a decade ago, my sister helped me start up my art business "Mystic Reflections." At the time, I had just a small website and most of my artwork was black-and-white sketches that I sold at craft shows. In 2007, I sculpted my first Myxies (fairies), dragon sculptures, and animal pals. My early mythical creature sculptures were made from air-drying clay. I now use polymer clay, having refined my materials along with my techniques and tools.

Hi Everyone! I thought I would share a project I made this month using the beautiful Dusty Attic Journal and some mixed media techniques. I started out by using the Dusty Attic Soot paint on the whole outside binding of the journal book. I love the flat black finish it gives! I then brushed some gold paint on the edges of front cover. Next step was to paint the Dusty Attic Corner Scroll #2 and the Mini Cogs with some gold paint brushed with silver paint. Then I made up my polymer clay piece. I shared a mini verson of making a polymer clay design, if you missed it you can view the tutorial below.... I baked off my polymer clay design (adding the chipboard pieces after the piece was baked). I added some cheesecloth spray painted black and brushed with gold paint onto the front cover, and then glued on my finished polymer clay design on top of it all. Next step is to glue on the corner chipboard pieces and add dots of bronze 3D paint (Scribbles) to the edges of the book and on the corner scrolls. Here below you can see a close-up view of the polymer clay piece.... I finished the whole design by adding a variety of ribbons onto the spine of the journal/book. Below I've shown the products I used from Dusty Attic to make up this project. Hope you give some of these techniques a try!! Here is my full list of supplies for this project: Supplies: Dusty Attic Journal Chipboard: Dusty Attic Corner Scrolls #2, Mini Cogs (16 piece) Dusty Attic Color: Acrylic Paints (Soot, Fine Silver, Vintage Gold) Polymer Clay: Sculpey or Fimo (Black, Gold, Green) Mica Powders: Pearlex (multipac) Stamps: Prima frames, K&Company Glass beads, seed beads Other: Cheesecloth, Ribbon, 3D paint Scribbles

Stephanie Kilgast takes discarded objects like tin cans, jam jars, and old cameras and embellishes them with vibrant amalgamations of coral-like growths. The artist honed her detail-oriented skills by making hyperrealistic miniature food, and she continues to use polymer clay and hand tools to craft her artworks. Mushrooms, crystals, beetles, and abstract forms sprout from the everyday objects that Kilgast sources from thrift stores and trash cans. In an artist statement on her website, she describes her work as “an ode to life, where plants and fungi meet insects, animals and minerals. More
