I wonder if I can dig out room in a corner somewhere for a tree this year. Does anybody else procrastinate for so long on putting up the tree, that when they get [...]

August 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment

I am in awe of some of the polymer clay artist out there that can manipulate the clay and make it do whatever they want it to do. Now, I know it takes practice, and a great deal of it at that. It also takes patience and perseverance. Well not all of us have the [...]

Kato color mixing recipes

August 19, 2008 | 4 Comments

It’s true, I’m a Kato gal. I flirted with the other polymer clays out there when I started claying, but none of them satisfied my thirst for clay like Kato did. It’s firmness makes it the best clay for my purposes. The rest of those other guys were just too soft. Okay, okay, enough of the [...]
