urm.... what exactly is "polymer" clay ? :& I used some kind of modelating paste wich dries at oxygen :&
You have such a great talent for making jewlery, but you can do soooo much more if you use the right clay. Polymer clay is so VERSATILE! You can use so many other mediums with it. It comes in little cubes in every color you can imagine. It also comes in clear/white in case you want to paint it. It is excellent for making jewlery. After you are done modeling it, you just pop it into oven for a few minutes and it hardens. It is great b/c you can do so much to it. There are even special paints that you can use that have an awesome iridescant shine. Or you can use rubber stamps w/ ink and stamp it onto the clay. That is my favorite. I made a small circle w/ clay and then used a butterfly stamp w/ purple ink. And then put a purply iridescant paint on it. I used the finished product as a pendant. I just threaded a piece of black leather through it and voila! You can also use it with other objects and join them to create an awesome piece. You can even take a piece of crystal or polished stone and incorporate the clay with it. Or you can create the paisley designs by flattening 1 color and then taking a diff color and put it on top. Then roll it into a long tube and slice pieces off. This will give you that paisley pattern. Try the polymer and let me know if you like it better!
