The Polymer Workshop

Recommended Posts

So, about a year or so ago I stumbled across a lovely little type of material known as polymer clay. Having tried normal clay before and liking it getting frustrated that I had no way of baking it (what do you mean normal ovens don't go up to a 1000 degrees?!) it was like a godsend.

Long story short, after practicing with it for a bit I ended up with some little trinkets that I would like to share with you all today and perhaps get some feedback or new ideas in return.

 

So, without further ado:

Whoa! These are really cool! I really like the little dragon pendant on the bottom.

 

Maybe, for future projects, you could try modeling some of DC's dragons?

I agree totally - the pendant is awesome!

 

Are you thinking of selling these? I would totally buy that pendant.

 

Have you tried cold porcelain? It doesn't even need to go in the oven (and is a bit cheaper than the awesome-but-oh-my-gosh-expensive! polymer clay)

 

Keep it up and keep posting!

Thanks!

 

Yeah, I hope to one day be able to sell at least some of the trinkets I make. But because I'd like to sell them I'm a bit reluctant on making DC related dragons since that would require asking permission from the sprite artist(s) first.

 

I have not! I looked it up and it sounds really interesting. Alas, it is made out of corn starch/flour and anything corn related that isn't in a tin can is a pain to find where I live. Still, I would love to give it a try. The main problem I had with normal clay was that it was very brittle after air-drying and I had no way to burn it.

 

Here's a few more things I've made:

Oh, I remember this. When I was younger I had some polymer clay and tried making some but they all looked so weird. laugh.gif

 

You're work is amazing, Cybele! I especially love the black dragon hugging the stone. smile.gif

I love working with polymer clay biggrin.gif I actually went out and bought a portable oven just for baking [polymer clay] with, so that I could hook up an extension cord to it and bake outside to avoid the fumes during the process.

 

It can be difficult, but oh so satisfying.

These are awesome. I really love all the ones you have wrapped around stones and such. These are super cool and if you had a shop, I'd seriously think about buying.

Thanks for all the lovely comments! It's really encouraging.

Out of curiosity (and I have been toying with this idea for well over a year now) if I were to put these dragons up for sale on say etsy or the likes, how much would you people be willing to pay for them?
