Polymer Clay Art

Looking for polymer clay art knocked my socks off! I already knew many people used this material to sculpt things, but I had no clue practically anything was made from it.

I saw buttons, beads, boxes, dolls, figurines, wall art, nail art and this is just a short summary of what all can be crafted with and from it.

What was even more surprising was finding out that the clay not only came in practically any color you can mix and/or imagine, but it can be painted as well.

That opens up even more options and possibilities, like these gorgeous beads which are used for a necklace in this case. It is just one of the examples of jewelry made from it.

I have worked with clay before, but not with polymer clay. At least.... not yet. :-)

  4. Dawn,
    How odd. I remember reading how they took an actual leaf, pressed it in a thin sheet of polymer clay, cut it out and then removed the leaf. I wish I could remember where I read that, but unfortunately I don't. Sorry.

    God's Grace.
