I bought a huge lump of white Fumo last month, I had in mind to make some porcelain looking tree decorations.....my weak pathetic hands couldn’t make it manipulable enough, gosh it was such hard work. Appreciate all your tips here, especially the colour blending, and adding the glitter..that made me smile too!Julia Dunnithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02164574850662878118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-73567387266135110122019-01-12T10:19:52.581-06:002019-01-12T10:19:52.581-06:00Well, I say three cheers to you. I love what you m...Well, I say three cheers to you. I love what you made. I've given polymer a try and it's never been my media. Just looking at all the supplies made me laugh -- I wonder how much you actually kept when all was said and done! I've been doing that with paper a bit and will probably do a bigger purge this year, leaving enough for some collage work but not what I have which is way too much.<br /><br />And thank you, thank you for saying you were GIVEN something, rather than gifted, which is like nails on a chalkboard to me. One of those recent turns of phrase that I wish could turn right back. Gift. Given. Giving. Got/Received. vs. Gifted, gifted, gifting. SCREAMS!<br /><br />OK -- this is going to be a long comment because I don't have your email to reply directly. I hate clogging your blog to do it but here goes! First, thanks for all the good words on the England posts and I'm glad you are along for the ride. Since you contribute to PBS, you should check out pbspassport.org (I think -- or else pbs.org) and their wonderful video collection. I don't know if Mr. Selfridge is on it -- the back episodes -- but there's tons of good material!<br /><br />I'm so glad you are interested in Victoria. She was quite a fascinating character/woman, wasn't she? So I know you'll be watching the third season of the series starting tomorrow -- and historian Lucy Worsley's programs after about her wedding to Albert and how they recreated it for the series. <br /><br />And finally, thank you MUCH for the VERY good tip about putting a backing of another tree behind the paint chip trees. I may or may not have figured that out by myself until I was sitting down at a table and saw the writing on the back! I have to head to Home Depot in the next week or two so I may start my paint chip collection then (as it is to the paint department I will be visiting!). I loved those!

It's amazing when we put stash together exactly how much we have gathered or been given. I try and keep everything together but it doesn't always work out that way. <br />I love the face on your Tag, she looks so at peace and happy with the world. <br />Polymer clay is such a versatile medium, I use it a lot for handmade beads and embellishments. I have a trolley full of baking trays, cutters, shaper's, and roller's along with a rainbow of colours in my cupboard under the stairs but it's difficult to to get to. So a small pack of black and white stays ready to hand. <br />I need a Craft Palace to store everything wall to wall haa haa!!<br />Happy (weekend) now..

So very cool. I have played with the polymer clay and have an older toaster oven to use. I got a new one for the kitchen one time. I certainly don't have that much clay. I did burn some one time, but that's because I rolled it too thin. Now you have me wondering where the toaster oven and clay stuff are.CJ Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14931779747826558608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-43421702641929002762019-01-10T15:12:46.059-06:002019-01-10T15:12:46.059-06:00I think the clay pieces are awesome. the faces ar...I think the clay pieces are awesome. the faces are amazing, job well done, and don't count the nail imprints as failures; rather as personalization !! ☺☺♥♥da tabbies o trout townehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716543768517442543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-48881829986550892652019-01-10T13:47:49.579-06:002019-01-10T13:47:49.579-06:00I love your clay pieces.

This was fascinating, and I like the idea of including the pieces as part of a tag or card.

It might have taken a while but it looks worth it in the end. Do you have a separate clay oven? And have you decided to make more clay art or are you now done? I have done a lot of clay mosaics but it has been quite awhile and I have a bunch of clay things sitting around also. You are right about how much time it takes to do the clay work, especially when you aren't set and can't just walk over and begin. I enjoyed the tutorial this week and it might even inspire me to get back to my clay mosaic work.
