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!

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, ...

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. And, we're releasing a new ezine soon- so if you are not currently subscribing to our newsletter, or even if ...
