I thought my sardine can ornament idea was original until I saw a very crude rustic metal one online. Oh well, here's mine made from polymer clay, wire, paper, chameleon powder, and resin. Perfect for my weird brother. #polymerclay #crafts #ornaments #sardines

More Dichroic Polymer samples from a Portland Polymer Clay Guild demo I gave last month. UV resin is the best topcoat. I wrote out free basic instructions and a materials list geared toward intermediate and advanced clayers at BlondeCrowStudio.com #polymerclay #artsandcrafts #BlondeCrowStudio

Don't let anyone treat you like free salsa. You're cheese dip, Baby. YOU. ARE. CHEESE. DIP.

Dandelions are the first food source for honeybees in the spring. Don't mow them down until other plants in your yard are blooming! Glass and Premo. #polymerclay #art #dandelion #crafts

Have you ever seen a more perfect Christmas tree ornament for a Star Wars geek? He loved it! I designed it to hold a battery operated tea light. Premo, Cernit colored translucent, glass. #polymerclay #Starwars #Christmas #art #crafts

"GARAM chai benow." I heard this every morning when I came into my dad's restaurant. I made boiling hot chai, he made eggs, & we ate them with the previous night's naan. I miss breakfasts with Baba. TINY Premo pieces, silver bezel. The pendant is 2.5cm tall (1 inch). #polymerclay #art #crafts

'Dichroic Polymer' I developed my technique for faux dichroic glass through much trial and error and then taught it to my polymer guild peeps. Premo, Cernit, cellophane films, mica powders, acrylic paint, resin. #polymerclay #art #nwpcg.org

Why do chickens wearing rain boots make me laugh? I used Premo clay, metal pinbacks. I also used my friend Kim Day's tiny 3D-printed cutter for the flower shapes. #polymerclay #art #crafts

Probably should be a bigger deal that Musk, the richest man on Earth who is essentially acting as the leader of the GOP, endorsed the pro-Nazi AfD Party in Germany in a tweet the same a day a supporter of that party killed people in an act of terrorism. The VP Vance just supported Musk's tweet.

My 'Dala-Moose' I made for an ornament swap a few years ago with nwpcg.org members. One side is silkscreened, the other is textured and decorated Swedish Dala style. Premo, acrylic paint, silver micro-glitter. The silkscreen is from ojoycreationsinc.com #polymerclay #art #nwpcg.org

Steampunk Honeybees was my idea for our last Clay Camp artist swap 'Things with Wings' theme. Watch parts, magnets, rhinestones, mica powder, and the rest is Cernit clay. #polymerclay #art #nwpcg.org

My good friend Kim Day 3D-printed some tiny cutters for me and I want to show you my solution to see all of them at once while I clay. I epoxied teeny magnets on each cutter and displayed them on a magnetized metal sheet! Not rocket science but I'm still proud of thinking this up. #polymerclay
