Wow, there are some amazingly sweeping statements in this thread. How about judging each person on their own attributes? Difficult on an internet forum, I know, but I'm not sure this is the best way...

Wow, there are some amazingly sweeping statements in this thread. How about judging each person on their own attributes? Difficult on an internet forum, I know, but I'm not sure this is the best way...
Not Nic, but I think oil paste can be made with other essential oils but lavender is by far the most commonly used. Make sure to use something that won't harm your skin in direct contact etc. Can't...
Lol Dennis - I don't blame you one tiny bit! Any tips? (My favourite CMT is the Poisoned cat!)
My DH LOVES automata - we have lots of wooden moving toys/ornaments but I've never seen anything like these before. Have you looked at Cabaret Mechanical Theatre? I love them, Dennis - hey, my DH's...
I often work on a plain white tile - the kind for decorating kitchen/bathroom walls. Cheap as chips at B&Q etc and the clay can be left to dry right on the tile. I usually pop mine into the oven on...
Sounds good Dennis. Fantastic jewellery maker and men in uniform - what more could a girl want!
Good luck - I'm sure you'll be fine.
Not sure what I can add to the advice already given. You'll probably get a clearer impression with a direct fingerprint into the clay and I think your kids will...
not sure about perfect, but definately less bad!
I'm not sure how long it took (cos there was a bit of swearing and re-doing in the middle!) Would probably take someone more experienced an hour or...
Thank you everyone. The stone is from Designer Cabochons - spent rather too much money last year with them!
Hi, I wanted to post something a bit different from the PMC work I've shown before.
I spent a lot of time last week at my bench practising things I've struggled with before like bezels and...
Could you use one of those plugs with USB adapters? Like one of these Not suggesting the seller, just the first one I googled!
If they get hot enough to boil water would they start to burn off the binder before you're ready to fire? I'd be a bit nervous about lots of warping too on a very hot surface. I dry my pieces in a...
I really like this Nicci, you've got some beautiful colours in the mix.
As a fellow Midlander (now relocated up north) I find I must concur with Geti! Although I must add Staffordshire oatcakes to your list of delicacies (at least for this potbank girl!) and I think the...
Hi, I'm certainly not an expert (see above for them!) but some of the marks in the 2nd/3rd pics look like the cracks you can see in fresh clay after you've re-squidged it to roll it out again. Any...
Dennis, what a wonderful idea - and amethyst and perisot are 2 of my favourites :)
I'll definately be in the booth on Thursday - we usually take our daughter with us too, to try to make sure she...
they're beautiful Jo, I love the lentil and tube beads :)
thanks Peter, think I might try that when I've used up my sheet of foil :)
Hello :~:
Sorry, not a PMC legend, but I don't find that I need to use anything on my hands - if the clay is nice and soft it shouldn't stick to your fingers. I'd agree with Nic - it sounds like...
yep, right next to the diamond sharpeners - I'd been waiting for them to come back at Aldi, but grabbed these when I saw them - glad I went now :)
Thanks Dennis - picked up a set of these this morning, they look really useful. I also grabbed a digital caliper for 8.99 - no idea how well calibrated it is, but got to be better than me...
Not daisychain, but I've bought foil for Keum Boo at silverclay if you scroll down the page a bit. I'd love to see any other sources though
not Fiona, and not sure my definition is the best, but I've always used twee for something nauseatingly cute or sweet - think picture book cottages with rainbows and ribbons and sprinkles and flowers...
I think it's lovely to have something which must have a personal meaning for the couple as wedding rings - they're lovely
You're so NOT over reacting. I'd be the same if that had happened to one of my pets, especially in that way. So sorry honey [[]]
