Watch this week as we crackle silver leaf over dark clay, and we show you a translucent skinner blend with gold leaf encased inside the layers of clay. It’s such a great effect you will want to use it on lots of different items. Our Polymer Clay Classroom video, showing how to make pens using this technique, will be available shortly.
Enjoy your video!

Its hard to believe the week is almost over and its time for a new episode of Polymer Clay TV. Tomorrow a new episode will be released and we are demonstrating working with polymer clay and gold & silver leaf. I am always finding new ways to work with the thin sheets of composition leaf as it is quite versatile. You can use a lot for some bling or you can just use a little for some accents, you can embed the clay into translucent for a neat effect as well. We show how to create a neat crackle look with the clay using your pasta machine. Make sure to come back tomorrow, you won’t want to miss this episode.

This week some of our visitors were from Brazil, Turkey,Germany,France,Israel,Canada,Serbia,Portugal,United Kingdom,Australia,India, Italy and that is just to name a few of the countries besides the USA that visited our site. It is so nice to see that creative people around the world are discovering polymer clay. We would love for our listeners and viewers to share some photos of your polymer clay work. It is really nice to see what everyone else is creating.

Feel free to add a photo of yourself and some of your polymer clay artwork. We would love to see what you are creating and share it with our community.

Well as you know I decided to try something new yesterday with the Slide program, well I liked it so much I decided to post another one. The pens in the photos are ones we made with gold & silver composition leaf. We have added little touches to them such as stamping and ink but feel free to just go crazy with them. Pens and pens with stands make great gifts, so think about this project when you are making your holiday gifts. Come on back this Friday to see the latest episode of Polymer Clay TV & the latest episode of Polymer Clay Classroom will be in our shop. We hope you enjoy learning about working with composition leaf.

Hi Everyone! We’re back in action- we filmed 12 episodes of Polymer Clay TV and Polymer Clay Classroom last weekend and had a blast. We’re doing the videos in a new format and we hope you love them. We will be showing basic gold leaf techniques next week, so don’t miss that.

LISTEN to to podcast right here! PS- Something happened to my cute little pink podcast play button, but if you click “DOWNLOAD” it will work. I’m working on it!

We reviewed a book called Clay Techniques with a Pasta Machine, by Maureen Carlson (who we interviewed in the Synergy podcast- be sure to listen to that one.)
This book is published by Design Originals- www.d-originals.com. We really like it, it is my favorite book to point people to when they want to know why they need a pasta machine. I don’t know what I did before I got mine (actually, I remember lots of failed attempts to make nice smooth flat sheets) and we highly recommend it. We will be giving a copy away to a lucky listener this month, so be sure to sign up for our newsletter or comment on the site. We enter everyone who does into our monthly contests.

Next month, we will be unveiling the first of several new elements of Polymer Clay Podcast - our Monthly Call for Creativity. We are hoping that with a little “directed inspiration” we can all challenge ourselves to be creative and learn new techniques. So each month, we will announce three things- an overall theme, a technique, and an object to focus on. For example: Theme: Ocean, Technique: Silver Leaf, Focus object: lightswitch plates. Then, you can show us your creativity by making something either for the focus group (a lightswitch plate) or the Open Call- which means you would make anything you are inspired to make, using the Ocean theme and silver leaf. We will be building a special board in our forum where you can discuss the theme, show your pictures, and vote for the People’s Choice Awards. The winners will receive a gift from us- and we will also randomly choose a winner from the folks that come over and vote. We haven’t completely “fleshed out” this idea yet, but we will be announcing our first Call on October 1 in our Newsletter and we hope that our first month is fun and inspirational for everyone.

Please consider donating Bottles of Hope or polymer clay supplies to our friend Barbara Reider for distribution at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in MA. She has been very active in getting a Bottles of Hope program going there, and we think it’s a great cause to support.

Please support our show by reviewing our podcast, either at itunes, Meefeedia, or anywhere else you pick up our podcast or videos (youtube, google, myspace, etc.) We really appreciate the kudos, thanks to everyone who has helped to increase our rankings!

Be sure to sign up for the newsletter this month, and come back next week for our Silver and Gold leaf video!
