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…

I was hoping to have the tutorial finished by now but I’ve been waiting…
Hi all, I’ve been experimenting with alcohol ink again – yay!!! It’s actually been a really busy time personally with not much studio time which has sent me a little crazy I must admit.
