hooked on clay

Were you one of those people who got hooked into beads not so long ago? I was. I remember I made my own jewelries and accessories using beads. I even thought of making it grow into a little business then. It didn’t come into being but my fancy for these accessorizing and making them myself is still very much present. A trait that must be inherent since my daughter S is also showing so much interest into these stuffs as well. As I’ve said before, she loves doing what I love doing…my little me:]. I showed her this video that is all about how to use polymer clay and turning them into beads. Now she is asking me to get the materials needed such as clay, rubber mats and moulds, bead rollers and modelling tools to name a few so we can do a little project during the Christmas break. One interesting portion in the video is when it showed the process on how to go about painting polymer clay. This made her more interested in this craft since she loves painting and she’s also quite good at it!
The process was almost like cooking and baking since it involves measuring and using ingredients such as spices like pepper, oregano or any other spice of your preference. So that makes it more interesting especially when you check the part of the website on polymer clay tips. There you will learn that clays aren’t just for making beads but also for other crafts like making boxes, bowls, bottles and more! As they say, you are only limited by your creative imagination. Now I am thinking of making Christmas ornaments out of these clays!
