Polymer Clay Podcast # 158 - Magic Glos and Magic Transfer Paper- the perfect match
We've decided to carry wonderful Magic Glos- a UV curing resin. It's the perfect companion for your Magic Transfers, since they really should be sealed with something that will bring out the colors in your designs. All you need to cure Magic Glos is the sun- or a small UV light (the kind you see at nail salons.) If you choose to get a light, you can get it from Lisa Pavelka's site for about $36. Come back for PolymerClayTV, where we will show you how to do this!

Polymer Clay Podcast # 156 - cover aluminum beer bottles with clay!
In these green days, when we are all looking to conserve, reuse, and recycle, why not make something beautiful out of something totally mundane? There must be an economic advantage to putting beer in decorative aluminum bottles. Whatever the reason, it leaves us with great raw material to decorate with clay! Think of the possibilities. The bottles are lightweight enough to use tin snips to change the shape of the top, or put a decorative hole in the side. Be sure to cover the entire thing, or yo...

Polymer Clay Podcast 154- Walnut Hollow new Embossing Set
This week, we tried out our new Walnut Hollow Embossing sets, which you can get at Michael's. Our verdict? Some great fun tools, worth having, and a really great little storage box comes with it, but try to use a coupon- the retail price seemed high to us. And try using the letter makers freehand for a fun effect! Be sure to come back next week to see it in action on Polymer Clay TV.

Polymer Clay TV # 139 - Last video of 2009!
Well, Ilysa decided to show the incense burner idea this week! They are fun to make in clay, since you can either just make a tray to catch the ashes, or if you want to burn the cone kind, you can actually embed a small tile of glass to burn it on and that way you won't damage your clay. This is a great way to try out different surface decorations, including canework, since the whole point is just to make something pretty.

Polymer Clay TV # 136 - Japanese Resin Clay
This is the coolest stuff since Premo! Watch as Ilysa shows you what Sukuruken Resin clay is capable of. I'm also going to do some tests soon, because I want to know if I can cure a piece, combine it with polymer, and then bake the whole thing. It's very interesting polymer clay that air drys almost crystal clear, even at a great thickness. EXTREMELY translucent stuff, and flexible.

Polymer Clay Podcast # 132 - making mosaics
Polymer Clay is such a fun medium to use for your own mosaics. You can use it cured, partially cured, or fully cured! Do soft on soft, bake your tiles and push them into soft clay, or bake your tiles and use them like a traditional mosaic with grout and everything. You can even use them in the kitchen or bath, as long as you seal them with a resin to make them easier to de-germify (polymer clay is porous, so it can harbor germs if not sealed.) Ilysa's mom is not well, so it's a short podcast thi...
