Sending Many thanks to those that have made and make the sacrifice to keep our country Free. Our Freedom could not be celebrated year after year without the amazing men and women that have, are currently fighting and or lost their lives fighting to keep our country Independent. I feel blessed to live in this amazing country that allows us the privilege of freedom.  At times we all take that for granted but I am taking the time today to say Thank You to those that have made today Independence day. I send them and their loved ones that are also part of that sacrifice a very Big Thank You and blessings. I hope you all enjoy your day and celebrate safely.
 
 
 

 I was honored this year by Polyform Products.  They published one of my polymer tutorials and it also is a celebration of the 4th of July. To find this tutorial visit their website that is full of amazing tutorials by artists all over the world.  Polyform Products is one of the most generous companies I have ever worked with.  They treat artists like no other. With support of their work, clay at many retreats and classes and they support blogger's that enjoy their products without anything in return but a thank you. 
 
 
 
 
I say THANK YOU to Polyform Products for making My 4th of July this year an amazing one.  You at Polyform know why and I will be sharing all of my new creative products and tutorials soon on my blog with goodies provided by this amazing company. Loving a product since the first time I touched it was easy and sharing your love for it really was even easier. I always get teased about me talking about Polyform Products (Premo and SculpeyIII clays and tools) that I sound like a commercial. Well I did it and do it because this product truly has saved me. Before I started creating I was bed ridden for years with pain and illness and once I started creating with Polymer clay I found something that I could channel my pain into. I was in a different state of mind. For me premo clay is therapy and I feel blessed that I found something I love and enjoy getting others to create and love it as well. Loving and sharing the love does pay off. I feel blessed. Happy Claying and Keep on creating the good things Polyform. We appreciate you. 


 
Want to find out more about Polyform Products???
 
They have an amazing blog. It lists all their products/tutorials/blog by a design team/inspiration/monthly contests and much more. Fun for any artist in any medium because Polymer works with almost everything.
 
 
To buy their products there are many amazing places I purchase mine from either
 
 
But if you look locally at your craft stores many carry Premo and Sculpey III and their tools/textures/glosses/bake and bond/liquid clay.  Or if you shop online go to google and search for premo clay or sculpey III clay in your area many places carry it.
 
 
No this is not a paid post. I truly support this product and would stand behind it everyday. Its quality clay that anyone can use, young or old you will fall in love with it. Just like I did.  So pick up a little block of clay and play you will thank me and Polyform.
 
 
 
 I am off to enjoy the holiday.
 
I will be on vacation until the 8th of July.
 
I have my shops on vacation but items can be ordered on my Artfire
 
 
 
and I will create and or ship your order for From Polymer to Art Magazines when I return from my holiday on the 8th.
 
I send you blessings and hugs.
 
Happy 4th of July from me to you.

Polyform Products January 2013 Make It Your Own Challenge ~ My Entry



Polyform January 2013 Make It Your Own Challenge
 
This Months challenge was to make beads and a bracelet.
 
Inspiration
 
 
Quote from Polyform Products
 
"The inspiration for the January Make-It-Your-Own Contest
 
 is Richelle Hawks' Rustic Faceted Bead Bracelet.
 
 Create your own custom bead bracelet
 
and post your photo entry right here on our Facebook page.
 
The deadline is January 31st
 
and the winner will be announced the first week in February.
 
The prize is one of each of the premo! Accents colors.
 
Enter as many times as you'd like, Good Luck!
 
We all enjoy seeing the many different entries.
 
 
 

 
My Entry.
 
I chose to make a Faux Gemstone.
 
Faux Purple Fire Agate
 
Faux Purple Drusy Slices
 
Faux Clay Pearls

 
I Love the look of cha cha bracelets
They are such a fun way to display beautiful beads.
These beads are so lightweight and fun.

 
Premo Clays Used:
 
I will share the exact colors in my tutorial that will follow soon
 
Premo Purple Clays
Glitter white Premo
White Transparent

 
.I Made a few canes in several shapes and sizes.
 
Some very tiny and some large and thick.

 
 
Some of the canes I put together in odd shapes
 
to form the faux look that is not supposed to be consistent
 
in shapes or sizes. Which made it very fun.
 
 

 
I then made a Drusy style cane and sliced
left it in abstract shapes as slices of Drusy are not perfect.

 
Baked them on some great new thick wide aluminum pieces
 
I found at Hobby lobby. Will share more info later.

 
They baked up wonderful.
 
Put them all in a very cold ice bath right away
 
Was so excited to hold them up and see they were completely
 
Transparent. Yay it worked.
 
Wet sanded then buffed with my dremmel tool and Renissance
 

 
It is so hard to show the transparency in photos.
 
I messed around with so many ways to get it to show up.
 
Ive been extremely sick so I gave up trying to figure out how.
 
I will put aside a few hours one day to do some research on the
 
best way to take photos of something transparent. hmmm
 
Tips are welcome in comments :)...

 
I Wire wrapped all the clay beads and added some faux clay pearls.
 
Dangled them on my favorite type of links for Cha Chas

 
 








 
 
Here are my attempts at photos with light behind it.
 
They are not done very well.
 
Kind of me not well. LOL
 
But I love the bracelet and plan to wear it with the pendant.






 
 


So stay tuned in a few days a free tutorial for the
 
 
agate and Drusy will follow.
 
Have a few custom orders I'm finishing up
 
for Valentines day.
