New clay by Sculpey

Well, there's been a lot of buzz about the new Studio by Sculpey clay. I have to say that I don't usually like soft clays, but this one bakes to a really nice finish, which I find different from any thing else on the market. I'm working on several ideas to submit to magazines using it- I'll let you know when those are available.

Right now I have a picture of one of their introductory projects, designed by Donna Dewberry. The frame is wood, painted with 3 colors, then accented with Studio Sculpey leaves and antiqued. I've never antiqued before, and I'm not sure this is a sterling example, but maybe my students won't feel like this is something they just can't do.

Picture problems

Well, I'm trying to post pictures to go with my blog- I have a great picture of my Bottles of Hope entry that goes with my last post, but Blogger won't let me get it on the site. I'll keep trying.

In the meantime, I'm getting ready to go update my website and will put the pictures up there as well.

Note from 1/28/08- All fixed!

Still trying!

Okay, so I'm still not caught up- stomach viruses are no fun! I did get the Hope on a Rope entry in- here it is. They are being gifted to children with cancer this time, so I tried to make one that a boy or young man could enjoy even if they didn't wear it as a necklace. I'm also going to be doing a demo at my polymer clay guild in May- showcasing my snowglobe designs.

Still hoping to improve on blogging and claying!
