I’m always happy to find crafters who, experienced in other mediums, are having a blast trying out polymer clay. Ellie Foster at Feltabulous is my latest find and you can see not only is she having a blast but she’s doing a great job of it, too.
Watching other people be so enthusiastic about their clay and trying out everything is what helps me get over the doldrums of it (production season right now, not the most exciting part of the whole deal).
These little pendants in progress are lovely. Can you tell me if the design is from a rubber stamp? It’s often hard to find stamps with impressions deep enough and clear enough to leave a good image on clay. Thanks a lot.

Yep, the ones in the picture are from a sutton slice technique using a stamp or texture plate.
You press a rubber stamp into clay (or multiple colours) and then shave the stamp off the clay so that the design on the stamp is filled with clay still. You then press that stamp onto a block of clay, usually in a contrasting colour, and lift it. When done right it leaves the clay pattern there making that pretty design.
