Micro Miniature Polymer Clay Cardinals with Birdhouse in Winter Snow

Micro Miniature Polymer Clay Cardinals with Birdhouse in Winter Snow

To keep myself motivated this year I hope to enter at least one polymer clay challenge or contest each month. I entered 2 in January (can’t share the second one till voting is over). It’s not about winning because I’m competing with amazing pro sculptors. Instead it’s about thinking outside the box and coming up […]

I Accept the 2015 Polymer Clay Challenge

Is it New Year’s Eve already? Where did 2014 disappear to? While the year appears to have flown by, so much has happened in 2014, a little too much. When not sculpting I run my own full-time tutoring business over at Leah4sci.com I had set some pretty lofty goals for 2014 and am happy to […]

Polymer Clay Guardian Mushroom Hidden Money Compartment Part-1

I live in a fantasy world. I love magical adventures and hidden things. Which is why the newest venture in my magical Journey through Fairies gnomes and trolls turns a magical mushroom into a Guardian Mushroom.

Rainbow Cane Polymer Clay Sculpting Tools

Creativity in polymer clay comes from being inspired by everything around you. So how can one be expected to sculpt a masterpiece with a set of boring tools in hand? I’ve heard many versions of this phrase ‘An artist will be more inspired to create art, when working with a piece of art in hand’. […]

Reviving Polymer Clay Scraps

Reviving Polymer Clay Scraps

Scrap Clay is an ever growing constant for every polymer clay user. Every project has a few unused ‘ends’. When you create a clay-covered pen, reduce a millefiori cane, create props or costumes for your sculptures… the list goes on. In the past I’d simply combine my scraps into an unattractive brownish lump. All the […]

Mini Food Processor For Mixing and Conditioning Polymer Clay

Mini Food Processor For Mixing and Conditioning Polymer Clay

While I love sculpting with polymer clay, the process of mixing and conditioning clay can become quite tedious and sometimes painful. This is especially true when conditioning clay for sculptures rather than miniatures for a number of reasons: The process of conditioning a few ounces of clay by hand, or even a pasta machine, is […]

Curious Brown Bunny Polymer Clay Sculpture

Inspired by the wild bunnies in my backyard, I’ve decided to sculpt a series of bunny rabbits in honor of spring. Having grown up in the city (Brooklyn NY) the idea of wild rabbits simply amaze me. As a kid I’d only even seen pet bunnies and zoo bunnies. Planning the Bunny Sculpture My curious […]
