Just before Christmas, I was commissioned to make molds for a whole new world, for me. Polymer clay.
Several months ago, I received an email from a lady who was interested in my mold making instruction ebook. Her question to me was, “will this also work for polymer clay?” I couldn’t see why not. Now I better understand the question.
First, let me tell you, I had no idea there was a new world to discover. Polymer clay is a big subject!
As I worked with this young man, getting workable molds for him, I learned about a whole other media, I had never before paid any attention to. To my surprise, folks are making bank on polymer clay figures. It’s an art form. Well, I have to say, I know more today, than I did 6 months ago, about molds. Who woulda thunk.
If this is a new subject to you too, try googling ‘polymer clay’ and see what a vast subject this really is. Then check for polymer clay on ebay. Your eyes will open, about like mine did.
So now I’m helping someone to develop a whole new line of molds for pressing clay. What’s more, the two of us brain storming together, we’ve come up with a whole new concept of molds. That should be interesting.
I’ve used Sculpey in the past, for modeling small items to be finished in resins but now my eyes are opened to a world, I never even knew existed.
They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. I’m here to differ. I’m an old dog and boy, have I learned some new tricks. :)
