First Try : Polymer Clay

I've seen this many times at the toy section and art supply shop but have never given it a shot. The pessimism in me kills it everytime.

Anyhow, I got this kit from Art Friend over the weekends only at RM9.90. Pretty small amount of money to be spent on something you are unsure about.

It comes with 2 small packets of polymer clay, a piece of small paper with a diagram of how each pieces should be before you construct the object, a magnet and 2 eyes; I bought a kit to make a crab magnet.










I was as usual pessimist about myself doing this coz even as a kid I don't recall making many shapes out of clay or play-doh!

With no experience with polymer clay, I watched few clips on YouTube just to see how others do it. So nice to see kids enjoying this and sharing it with others in the cyber world.

After few clips (and dinner), I finally opened the kit and tadaa!
Looks crappy but quite crabby. :p




With the lack of experience an tools (I used my husband's letter opener to create the indent of the claw), I had a tiny bit of leftover in orange. Made it into a little heart. No magnet for it though.



I think it looks quite ok. :)

P/s: Polymer clay is way better than the clay we used to play with in preschool. It doesn't leave any sticky residue on the surface where we rolled it. Hand stays clean too! Why didn't we have this back in preschool??? :p

Head Over Heals on a Tuesday

An unexpected gift from a dear Pinoy friend :)

The kit is staring at me while I work today! Hahaha




Another friend dropped by my desk and saw this. She asked "Why is it a junior one? Shouldn't it be atleast advance for you?" lol I replied "My friend knows I do not have much time in hand to do an advance one. " ;)

The Hoops

How many hoops do you have?
How do you store the hoops?

I placed mine on the hook mounted by the side of my craft/study table. :)

7 altogether!


Would like to try out Q-Snaps someday :)
