I’ve spent most of this evening preparing for my upcoming polymer clay jewellery class which is on Monday. Five ladies are atttending the class at “Tutti’s” restaurant in Gran Alicant. The owner Sirus lets me use his upstairs room and supplies a delicious lunch as well. We are going to make geometric design polymer beads on silver wire; bracelet, pendant and earrings. Everything is made from scratch, including the findings. The ladies have a jewellery class about once a month and have learnt, among other thing, jewellery making with art clay silver, silver wire and polymer beads. I always like to practice what I’m going to do beforehand as occasionally something crops up that I hadn’t thought about.
Tonight I had major problems conditioning some of the clay. Some colours are harder to condition than others and crumble a lot, my hands were really hurting afterwards. A good tip is to put just a drop of baby oil on your fingers when conditioning the clay by hand and this helps to soften the polymer. It shouldn’t be a problem on Monday as I am taking my husband and conditioning the clay is his job. Well enough of the talk, the beads are due out of the oven. I’ll post some pictures of the stuff we made on Monday.
Having recieved the Owl, Heart and the Pussy cat Charms, for my friend’s Special birthday ( the woman who has evrything except these) and placed them in a Jewellery box threaded on a ribbon, with a copy of the owl and the Pussy cat Poem, and she loved them. Thankyou so much for the quick delivery, after ordering them. I will definately do that again for a present. Many thanks
