I’m still trying to figure out what I want to do with these thin translucent shapes. My original idea was to make a vessel…but I’m not sure how I want to get there. Here are a few ‘chips’ that I threaded with ribbon. I’m going to keep playing until the chips decide what they want to be when they grow up.

I’m going to take some time off to attend to some personal business, but before I leave I want to show you what’s on my worktable right now.
This is a paper-thin sheet of polymer clay ready for the oven.
Here’s the same sheet of clay after I baked it – I used it as a background for a photo of a mold. Cool, huh? And that’s all I’m saying!

I finished the ‘pushing polymer’ cuff experiment. Not bad…there are several things that I would do differently next time, but isn’t that half the fun of experimenting? Still trying to get ready for Synergy…

Today, Kim Cavender wrote a fun post about polymer clay fish (Denise Baldwin’s fish are a riot!). Got me thinking about the ‘fish phase’ I went through a few years ago. The vessel below started what became a series of polymer clay fish. I had just discovered Christi Friesen’s fanciful beads and I wanted to try to make a vessel using the technique.
This little guy is still one of my favorites. Circa 2004 (I think).
