I think many polymer clay artists have seen the fabulous alligator shoes created by Katherine Dewey of Elvenwork.

I had not, however, came across the pictures of the process she used in creating the shoe before today.  Click here to check it out!   And many thanks go to Katherine for continuing her tradition of being a sharing and generous artist, encouraging others in their creativity!

Well now, I’ve seen all sorts of miniature polymer clay food, and that includes one of my favorite breakfast treats, waffles.  But this is the first time I’ve seen a waffle iron interpreted in polymer clay!

Check out Dylan Edward’s blog The Daily Monster for even more whimsical creations!

If the polymer clay world had a medal for “Helpful and Cool Tutorials, Tips, and Techniques,”  Desiree McCorey would surely be at the top of the list for receiving the honor!

She is constantly experimenting with techniques and tools for polymer clay, and is never stingy about sharing the results.

Her latest tutorial is for a geometric fish cane,  and she breaks it down into simple,  clear steps so that the complex cane is completely do-able.

I was browsing through ArtFire the other day, and I found this cute and colorful little Armadillo by Greene Goddess. Isn’t he a unique little guy?  I absolutely love the colors!  It brings a bit of sunshine into the cold winter weather where I live.  While you are at her shop, be sure to check out all of her unique critter focals, and the hand stamped polymer clay tiles!

Pebbles

Originally uploaded by Pips Jewellery Creation

As a child, I loved collecting rocks. There was never any rhyme nor reason to this, I didn’t know what type of stones I was picking up, just that I thought they were neat in some way or another. I’m quite sure there are a couple of children’s beach pails still tucked away in my mother’s basement, heavy with the weight of these “treasures.”

I automatically thought of that, and was transported back to the joy of finding some nifty looking pebble when I saw this creation from Pip’s Jewellery Creation over on Flickr. I love the detailing of the white stripes running through the gray pebbles – I can remember picking up rocks that looked very much like these! (Although, since these are made of polymer clay, they are lightweight enough to be practical and comfortable for jewelry!)

Aunt Acid by Sarajane Helm

Have you met Aunt Acid yet?  The puppet alter-ego of polymer clay artist Sarajane Helm is a self-described “tie-dyed tempest with a teapot” and has her own website here, complete with rants and raves, a blog, and “Original Syn, the story of Aunt Acid’s origins” (Don’t miss this gripping tale of  “Plaesthetics” )

Not for the faint-hearted, Aunt Acid is outspoken and opinionated.  But she also has that humor and soft-heartedness that will make you bestow the term “crazy aunt” as an affectionate honor.

by Adam Savage

Now, at first Adam Savage from the Discovery channel show “Mythbusters” talking about Dodo skeletons does not seem to have much to do with polymer clay.  But, just wait until about 3:15 into the video, and then you see that there is a connection with  polymer clay.  His enthusiasm, his love of the process,  his obsession and the joy he takes in it are obvious, and ever so slightly contagious as well.
