How to make a chunky feather cuff bracelet mica shift with polymer clay

Today's tutorial features a totally simple quick way to use mica shift techniques. You don't have to get fussy with mica shift, and when you use the same stamp to create both the flat mica shift areas AND highly textured areas, you get a really nice coordinating design.

Kira used the Feather Your Nest rubber stamp, Peacock Feather silkscreen, Blowing in the Wind feather mold, and a bracelet blank to create this project. You can get the stamp, screen, and mold in our Feather Your Nest tool collection, or get them separately.

Fun with spoons and polymer clay! How to use a spoon as an armature


We had a spoon owl swap at Polymer Clay Adventure last month. What's a Spoon Owl? Glad you asked! Spoons make a great base for sculpting things like critters and faces, even beads. They are smooth and have a slight curve, and they can go right into the oven. Then whatever you made pops right off after baking!

These owls were created on large tablespoons but you can use any spoon. Give it a try.
Here are some of the tools we used- our brand new Feather Your Nest rubber stamp makes a fabulous Sutton Slice! Be sure to check out our free Video Tutorial below and you can make your own.

Feather Your Nest polymer clay supply kit project ideas from the Design Team at Polymer Clay TV

Today we are sharing a few fun project ideas using the Tool Collection and Add On Kit, which you can get together at CreateAlong.com.

Suzanne created a stunning bird sculpture, Pat created a cute stone house, Cindi made a beautiful necklace, and Darlene made a gorgeous mixed media piece of art. Stay tuned- we have 4 more designers and lots more to come!

And Katie made a video for you on how to store your silkscreens. Enjoy it here.



This is Suzanne Ivester's bird sculpture, she fondly named him Skipper. She used the Add-On kit feathers to make a tail, and the driftwood for a base. His wings are silkscreened.




Cindi McGee created this beautiful necklace from Makin's, the "other" polymer clay!
Full video tutorial of how she created this project using the Createalong.com Peacock Feather Silkscreen is here.




Darlene Madden used the full peacock feather silkscreen design and cut it out, placing it into a frame with other mixed media and polymer clay embellishments.





Pat Krauchune made this fun stone house with glass windows using several mosaic techniques, molds, and silkscreens for texture on the bricks. She has several ideas for how to create the stone textures, and even created a pattern and made the base from MDF so it is nice and sturdy. Read more about it on her blog here.
