Polymer Clay TV This Friday Magic Transfer Paper Skulls

Posted by Ilysa on 06 Oct 2008 | Tagged as:

This Friday we have a new epsiode of Polymer Clay TV and we thought it would be fun to create some cool skull jewelry. Halloween is only a few weeks away and skulls are so hot now we thought it would be a really fun project.

We use Kens collage sheets that can be found at http://www.craftedonline.com They are under collage images.

There is still time to vote for us in the Start Up Nation contest. You can click on the Vote For Me widget on the right hand sidebar to vote, you can vote once a day through the month of October. We really appreciate all of your help and we will keep you posted on the outcome. Thanks for all of you support!

Polymer Clay Podcast # 74 - Halloween jewelry with skulls and magic transfer paper

Posted by Kira on 02 Oct 2008 | Tagged as: Podcasts

We decided to do something a little different this year for Halloween. There are many tutorials online about how to make things like pumpkin canes and ghost beads..so we thought some skull imagery would be fun. We used Magic Transfer paper and Ken’s mortality images from Craftedonline.com, and created some fun earrings and necklaces! Check out our different styles next week on polymer clay TV, the free demo, and also at www.polymerclayclassroom.com, where you can download complete projects from start to finish.

We also have some news about the Jaquard new G-clay series, which has been stopped in favor of just adding the planned g-clay to the Cernit line (we think.) Stay tuned, we will be getting an update from Jaquard representatives soon.

And, don’t forget to link to us and let us know- you’ll be entered to win prizes from our Holiday Gift Guide. And, please come to www.polymerclayproductions.com to vote for us in the Start-up Nation competition- you can actually vote once a day, through October. Your votes help us to rank in the contest, thank you so much for helping out!

Polymer Clay Podcast This Friday & Deadline For Holiday Gift Guide

Posted by Ilysa on 30 Sep 2008 | Tagged as:

Well we are back from  our trip to Orlando and it was great to get to film again together. Kira and I have a fun time filming no matter where we do it. This time we filmed in our hotel room so it will be a little different this time. We had to film at a different angle because of the set up of the room but I think you will like the way it came out. We have some awesome shows coming up that you are going to really enjoy. This Friday on Polymer Clay Podcast we will talk about some of our experiences and share some of the upcoming episodes.

Today is the LAST day to get your photos submitted for the Holiday Gift Guide. If you are interested in participating you can send 3-5 photos of your work to us at polymerclaypodcast@yahoo.com

We have received a lot of submissions so you will get to see a large variety of work, so make sure to stay tuned for the airing of the show and make sure to come back Friday for the show.
