today the internet certainly helps us to feel that the world is small. lucky us. this morning i found cristalline’s blog, complete with detailed how-to pictures of canes and jewelry design/construction, through iris mishly’s very informative israeli polymer clay forum.
the polymer clay community’s generosity and willingness to share ideas and knowledge is one of the things that keeps it alive and fresh. is it lunchtime yet? you might want to spend your lunch hour cruising through these sites. lots to look at. makes me wish there was a universal language, but i guess that’s what translation tools are for!
many thanks to our friends around the world who share this wild and wonderful passion for polymer clay.

a few weeks ago cynthia tinapple posted a picture of a face cane slice that maureen carlson expertly manipulated into a 3-d face. i immediately thought that this technique offered another dimension (pun intended!) for polymer clay artists to explore. no need to limit this to face cane slices – oh, the possibilities are endless! i found instructions that are sure to get your wheels turning this morning. the pictures are a bit fuzzy, but you get the general idea.
