This month the theme for the Polymer Clay Artist Guild of Etsy challenge was to create something inspired by your favorite book and there were some amazing entries. The winner this month was Heather of Humblebeads and you can check out her shop to see some of her great artwork. Congrats Heather!

This week we are talking about working with molds. Molds are a great way to create easy designs in polymer clay. We like to use molds to create pendants and embellish housewares. There are so many things you can create with a molded piece, just have fun with it and experiment. You can add powdered pigments to them as well as pigment ink and even dye ink, I like to highlight the molded image to make it stand out. Make sure to come back Friday and listen to our discussion on molds. We also have an interview planned with Lisa Clarke from Polka Dot Creations you won’t want to miss.
