Polymer Clay Productions: Podcast, TV, and Classroom

Valentines Day is Right Around the Corner Why Not Send Some Hearts 4 Heroes

// January 26th, 2009 // No Comments » // Blog

This week on Polymer Clay TV we will be talking about creating Hearts 4 Heroes http://www.hearts4heroes.com This is an awesome program where polymer clay artists create hearts about the size of a quarter that are made with tender loving care to give to our troops. They should be made with lots of care to make them smooth and without any bling so that they can carry them with them as a reminder that the people back home appreciate what they are doing for our country.

Kira is at the airport as I write this getting ready to board a plane to Las Vegas for an E-Learning conference, I look forward to the things she will learn there. As you know e- learning is the wave of the future and everything seems to be going online. I am sure she will share a little about her trip on next weeks Polymer Clay Podcast. Don’t forget to come back on Friday to tune into Polymer Clay TV.

Join The Hearts For Heroes Project & Give Back To The Troops

// September 24th, 2008 // No Comments » //

I was searching the web for something yesterday when I came upon a project that I had not heard about. It is a project where polymer clay artists make beautiful hearts to give to the soldiers that are serving our country.

Linda has been working on this project since the beginning of 2005 and has made 12,000 hearts to date. There are some photos of her hearts on her website.

Hearts are collected to give to the troops as a way of letting them know that people care and appreciate what they are doing. The hearts should be the size of a quarter and they should be nicely finished and smooth to the touch.

You can read more about this wonderful project and find more info at

Remember that a lot of the troops are men so the hearts should not be too girly. I hope you will take the time to make some hearts for the troops, I know that a little gesture can really make someones day and when you are far away from family and friends a little gesture can go a long way. Thanks!

Make sure to come back Friday for the new episode of Polymer Clay TV. This week we share some interviews we did at Synergy with 3 of the men of clay.

We are heading to Orlando, FL on Friday to attend Blog Orlando and we hope to learn lots of new things and we will be sure to share them with you when we return. We are also filming the next few epsiodes while we are together and we have a bunch of fun projects planned so stay tuned for those.
