[NFB-Krafters-Korner] polymer clay?

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Maria.
I haven't used polymer clay, but I think you could use any technique you
want to shape it.  My sister made some things by rolling it out and either
using a cookie cutter or cutting it by hand.  And I don't see why you
couldn't form it into any bead shape you want using your hands, then poke a
hole.
Sounds like fun, really.  Bet it would go great with the macramé projects
we're learning.
Tracy

HI Crafters.


On Monday I went to a bead shop with a friend. They were having a class on
Polymer clay. I bought 3 different colours of clay and made some pendants
and beads with help. They used a pasta machine and something called an
extruder in order to blend the colours. I have left over clay and one of the
ladies suggested I could make some beads on my own, by rolling them in to
balls and putting a hole in them and then baking them.    I am thinking
maybe I could make different shapes? Maybe use a rolling pin instead of the
pasta machine?  Has anyone had any experience using this? Any tips on baking
it? 
ideas on how to use this left over clay would be wonderful.

Maria
