I have never really painted on clay a lot in my career. I guess I’ve always tried to achieve the end goal through the colors of the clay itself. With that said, I have called upon a couple of my claying friends to shore me up in the areas of clay painting where I am weak. I hope you enjoy...

I couldn’t WAIT!! Sculpey is releasing a brand new Sculpey Premo™ color this month and I just HAD to mix my NCTs for this month with it. But, until the color is released, I’ve called it a “mystery color” and greyed it out. I will edit the blogs after the color is released to show the color. In the meantime...
I believe we’ve established the fact that I’m obsessed with cane making. That’s why I’ve paid close attention to the properties of Sculpey III, Premo and Souffle. I choose Souffle for caning for these reasons: I love the dryish, velvety texture. The clay does not stick to the work surface and it resists sticking to itself. That allows me to...

I have a bit of an obsession with translating patterns I see in fabric, photos, etc. into polymer clay. Whenever something catches my eye, my mind begins to ponder what techniques I can use to recreate the look. Sometimes, it’s silk screening or textures. Sometimes it’s colorings like alcohol inks or pastels. Sometimes it’s dimensional effects like molded or sculpted...
