Polymer Clay Journey: Yay! Some Of My Tube Beads - Finally Turned Some Into Jewellery!

Naming my jewellery pieces is part of the joy of creating. Remember all of those previous polymer clay tube beads I was creating?  Here is one link to see. I was getting hooked on making them.  All those textures and powders, what fun. Well, finally I have made a couple more necklaces that are in my Etsy Shop, A Bergie Creation. The blue one is called "Induction," and the Pink one "Cerendipity."Cool huh! The Sari ribbon and handmade wire beads enhance these really great clay beads. 

When you are creating jewellery pieces, experiment with what materials work together!

Be inspired to create guys!

Polymer Clay Journey: Solution Time- Capping My UV Resin Bottle!

The Precision Tip Cap Solution

It's problem solving time! Recently I received a bottle of UV Resin from a place online recommended by The Polymer Clay Tutor, Cindy. A large bottle came with a small precision tipped bottle. I poured some resin into the precision tip bottle. Because I Know that Lights can cure UV resin, I wrapped the little bottle in masking tape. I'm assuming that was Not needed, After all the company that sent the bottle Would have Sent a safe one. Oh well, It's covered in tape now. Yes, It does may looks a little silly. I'd be curious to hear for anyone who may Have received the same kind of bottle. The first time I had ordered it, Bottle was black. 

But I digress. The precision tip bottle Is great for those tiny areas. However, I don't use up all that in the bottle But there's no lid. What does that mean? It is solution time! Ever have one of those moments where the lightbulb literally goes off in your head? Or so it would seem. Well, I snapped a toothpick and Put the pointy end into the precision tip - And woo hoo, it fit! Except I do find a way To not lose the tiny toothpick tip. So how do I solve this issue? Why was polymer clay of course!

I put the tip into the hole, That made a teeny ball of clay and Formed it around the broken end of the toothpick. Carefully removed it. Baked it and voila. a teeny precision tip cap was made.

Literally, it is a small thing but, it is a big thing to protect and contain the precious resin. 

So I know this isn't a creative type post,  but I thought Someone else out there With some polymer clay, May have a precision tip bottle in need of a cap. Hope this idea sparks More ideas.

Polymer Clay Journey: Solution Time - Two Ways To Soften Hard Clay

If you are using polymer clay then you may have already come across clay that was too hard to knead or condition. Eventually, you just give up and want to chuck it. Well, don't give up yet. I discovered through various tutorials and experiments that it is possible to soften clay and even make stiff clay, easier to use.
Watch my short tutorial below!

So next time you need softer clay, you know what to do! Now if your clay was

sitting in the sun and is hard, then I don't think it can be re-softened because it was most likely slightly cured or baked already. Keep clay away from heat.

Avoiding hard clay...

Buy clay as fresh as possible and keep open clay in polymer clay safe storage containers, cling film and such. I do use foil and wax paper some times.

Keep away from sun and heat.

Be inspired!
