Well tomorrow is Friday and this week we have a new episode of Polymer Clay Podcast releasing and we talk about making masks. In the USA we celebrate Halloween at the end of October so we thought it would be a good time to talk about creating masks from polymer clay. There are so many different styles you can create, the sky is the limit. We also do some reviews of the latest issues of some of the magazines by Kalmbach Publishing. We review Bead & Button, Art Jewelry and Bead Style. There are so many projects that can be adapted to using polymer clay, so you might want to look at the projects in the magazines differently and think how you could use polymer clay to create the same project that they might have used stones or some other material. We encourage you to think outside the box and experiment.
Don’t forget that the Call For Creativity deadline is October 28th, 2007, so get your photos uploaded to the forum post or to our Flickr account to be entered. There will be some great prizes for the winners. Good luck!
I am off to babysit my niece this weekend while my sister and brother in law celebrate their anniversary out of town. I am hoping to get some claying time in with my niece Rachel who just loves working with the clay. I think you should encourage your kids to help you make their masks and costumes this year as it is such a blast and no one will have the same costume as them. Polymer clay is non toxic and great for kids and of course is extremely versatile. Happy Claying and see you tomorrow!
