Toggle clasps are very popular and seem to grace almost every bracelet and necklace today. While Gold, silver and copper are great materials, sometimes the shiny metal distracts from the design or calls for a clasp that isn't too obvious at first glance. There are of course other not so obvious styles such as polymer clay covered barrel clasps, but this style of clasp serves double-duty as both clasp and pendant. About my toggle clasp, it was first published in PolymerCAFE (April 2008). This newer version has now been reworked to include more detailed instruction, that I feel even a beginner should be able to achieve. The tutorial includes a colored crackle technique that can be applied to many different projects. This tutorial consists of 37 photographs, 27 steps, 13 pages and a List of Tools and Materials, in an easy e copy .pdf file download. The precise instructions will guide you to create a leaf with branch toggle. Afterwards you'll easily be able to adapt the instructions to create any shape you desire, round, triangle, rectangle, flower or other shapes that inspire you. Should you require help in acquiring any of the tools or materials, email me for links. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=236441 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 20:07:06 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=269169 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=269169"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/19401_product_1112601845_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> Handmade polymer clay mold Dimensions of the finished piece would be approx. 1 1/4" x 1 1/4".

The finished urchin will measure between 1 1/4" - 1 3/8".Although I use these molds with no release agent (I use Premo clay with the molds), you may wish to use a light coating of corn starch to the inside of the mold. A drop of water will also work for Premo (don't use water with Fimo). Any excess corn starch can be brushed away with a soft bristle brush.I test the molds before sending to you, to ensure quality. Because I hand make each mold, there may be slight imperfections. My molds are done in 'limited runs' as sea urchins tend to loose their raised dots when molded over and over. Please be aware that the one you will receive may differ slightly from the one shown, but will still produce beautiful urchins.

These stone rubbings are based on grave stone rubbings, but aren't as morbid. Instead you'll discover various ways and possibilites with this technique.

For making my innovative clip art PhotoEz stencils visit my blog at http://beadcomber.blogspot.com/2008/09/tutorial-making-photoez-clip-art.html Some claying experience is required to complete this project. Materials in this project should be readily and easily available. *With list of materials and tools, detailed instructions and 18 photos, you will be creating your own "Low relief stone rubbings" after following the 14 step outline I have written for this pdf file.

If you don't want to mess with having to develop your own screens, this is an economical way to at least try them. For offer here is a 3 1/2" x 4" silkscreen stencil with a Swirl design. You can use this stencil any way you wish, in items you plan to give away or sell. The stencil can be used on Polymer Clay, Fabric or paper. If using paints, please use Jacquard, Jones Tones or Golden Acrylic Paints or similar paints which are fine particle paints. Liquid or watery paints are not recommended. After using these paints, you should gently wash the stencil in warm water as soon as possible as dry paints are hard if not impossible to remove. Let stencil dry before using again. Taking this precaution will allow you to use the stencil over and over. NOTE: Tutorials are not included with stencil, but is available separately, plus other tutorials will be offered here as well suitable with this type of screen. I don't use above paints in my tutorial, but would be just as suitable. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=296771 Sun, 05 Jul 2009 19:06:23 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=296770 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=296770"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/19401_product_1565382561_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> If you have wanted to try my "low relief stone rubbing" or my "Friendship hand pendant/pin combo" tutorial for Polymer Clay, but don't have any of the stencils I'll be offering a few up for grabs. If you don't want to mess with having to develop your own screens, this is an economical way to at least try them. For offer here is a 3 1/2" x 4" silkscreen stencil with an ancient South American design. You can use this stencil any way you wish, in items you plan to give away or sell. The stencil can be used on Polymer Clay, Fabric or paper. If using paints, please use Jacquard, Jones Tones or Golden Acrylic Paints which have fine particles. After using these paints, you should gently wash the stencil in warm water as soon as possible as dry paints are hard if not impossible to remove. Let stencil dry before using again. Taking this precaution will allow you to use the stencil over and over. NOTE: Tutorials or jewelry is not included with stencil, but is available separately, plus other tutorials will be offered here as well suitable with this type of screen.
