Polymer Clay, I love it, what do you make with it?

I REALLY love working with poly clay lately! So much so, that I'm falling way behind in my knitting. But I just keep coming up with ideas to expand that part of my line (I have an online shop) and so far the response has been very good. I haven't yet made earring with it and would love to see a picture of what you created!!

Hang in there, check out some ideas at an online store site, like ETSY.com. I don't think you need to even sign up for the site. You just go there, and search polymer clay in the tags of the sellers items. I'm sure you'll find a few things that will spark some creativity. I just finished making a pendant with the Grand Canyon on it, it's still wet from the glaze finish I used to help protect the image or I'd scan it for you to see. Keep working with that clay and I think in no time you'll find what you think "sucks" somebody else would be willing to pay money for!

I do have sculpey, but it's buried somewhere in my closet or one of my totes. I've worked with poly in the past, but I've found it much more enjoyable to work with it lately. It's really easy to use and you can do a bunch of pieces in groups over a couple of days. Mold (and etch if you so desire) bake, paint or decoupage a print, seal with a glaze finish and let dry. Doing a custom order takes more work, but it's still a great item to craft with. Try it sometime, I think you'll enjoy it. Thanks for the response.

I just started etching before I bake. Simple etchings, like a tree and then after it bakes, I will paint the etching before using a finish to protect the artwork. It is super fun!! I haven't made pins as of yet and I'd like to make beads also. But right now, pendants and magnets have been a lot of fun! Thanks for your response, I'm going to try pins and tops for my mother-in-law's knitting needles. : )
