Friendly Plastic and Polymer Clay by Kris Smith

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010
As a polymer clay artist and addict, I was a little hesitant at first to try Friendly Plastic...in fact my first attempts were less that pleasant.  Im not a quitter though and I was determined to learn the curve even if it made me crazy.  Im so glad I did because the reality is .... Friendly Plastic is a wonderful medium, that can do things polymer clay can't and vise versa.  It's a great compliment to polymer clay as you will see in this post by Kris of KriSmithBlog.  She Share's her story:



My friend Marlys and I took a class on bead making. We made beads from Friendly Plastics. It was a lot of fun. This is a bracelet that I made out of two of the Friendly plastic beads that Marlys made and several of my polymer clay beads.






We took the class through the DSM Public Scools Community Education. Check it out.

Robin Paul taught the class and we had a great time.

New Artist Feature – Dirty Paw Designs by Cat

Friday, January 8th, 2010
Cat emailed today to share some of her recent designs made from Friendly Plastic. She is a veteran polymer clay artist, but thru the inspiration from all of you on the blog, she decided to "try" Friendly Plastic.



Dirty Paw Designs by Cat offers one of a kind - completely unique pieces of art. Her motto is: "Art washes away from the soul the dust of every day life" -- Picasso



She credits her mother Kathy for encouraging her to create at a very young age.


I really enjoyed the way she combines friendly plastic with the polymer clay faces.


So....if you're an avid polymer clay artist...why not be like Cat and give Friendly Plastic a try too? We're not asking you to give up polymer clay, just add a little Friendly Plastic to it!
