I’ve told this story briefly before but I was limited with how long it could be so I had to think very carefully about what parts of the story were the most important. The good thing about doing a blog post is….I can tell the whole lot here and it makes no difference to anyone!…
My recent free tutorial on creating polymer clay pods sparked some interesting conversations about pod shapes, names, uses and variations. There are literally hundreds of ways you can “alter” something to make it look different. It’s actually heaps of fun for me to challenge myself to do this. My visual diary is full of pages…

It’s almost time for a new tutorial. I’ve been playing around with a very cool “painting” technique on raw polymer clay over the last few months and have decided I love it so much I’ll create a tutorial showcasing the technique.
