Polymer Clay Playing with Ideas

This week I have finally picked up the clay again, but was abruptly halted when my clay extruder gun decided to die on me! As I was mid flow in my making I had to promptly order another and am now eagerly awaiting its arrival.

However it did'nt stop my flow and Tuesday I was working on some new ideas that popped into my head, I usually have to make a note of them otherwise they will be lost in the mess that is my brain.

    The clay colours look really pretty - can't wait to see what you're going to make with them, and I think the elephants earrings are quite funky.

    I'm amazed how the elephants look like real jade. They are really sweet.

      Hehe its like a long metal tube which the clay is placed into and you turn the handle to extrude the clay, you can get lots of different shaped discs to use, I use the small round holes to make a long clay string for my scribble beads.
