Just to get the party started!

I know I've posted it somewhere else, but I am proud of it, hehe!

Not really a tip or trick, but just a bit of advice really: Take your time with your work! I am one who will hurry to make as much as possible in the shortest amount of time and because of this I do end up making some rubbish. This however took me probably about 5 hours, and I enjoyed every minute of it! And it turned out better than I could've hoped. A little bit of patience goes a long way!

Fantastic start, thank you Kayleigh x

[DiS]

oh wow!  I gave up with the fimo almost before I started.  I have a cupboard full of fimo and kato-clay - plus the pasta roller and stuff - but I can't do it 

[Jolene]

Maybe you'll get some inspiration here Di. I'm running the comp so can't enter but plan to do some kind of tutorial as my offering to the table each month

[SilverGems89]

like Di i have a cupboard full of fimo that i have never really used (i had a go once but got frustrated because the clay was too "sticky" i've now learnt that clay can be refrigerated after conditioning to stiffen it up a bit again!) i found a tutorial for mica shift the other day though and am now desperate to have a go, so hopefully i might have something to show in here at some point in the future!

[Kayleigh]

Flower caned beads

And here's a oldie but a goodie from the clay world - when you're using a cookie cutter with a sheet of clay (for pendants etc.), put clingfilm over the clay first in order to achieve a nicely bevelled edge.

I hadn't heard that one Hazel, beautiful beads and a great tip x
