Polymer Clay Book Review
It’s time for another great polymer clay book review! I have done many book reviews (mostly of Christi Friesen’s books because of the Friesen Project) and I have yet to do a negative book review. Don’t get excited, this is NOT going to be a negative review! But maybe day I will find the courage to write on one of my books that doesn’t live up to what I want it to.

POLYMER CLAY PASTA MACHINE HELP
Make Your Own Pasta Machine Wedge
Using a wedge in your pasta machine will allow you to control the size of your blends.
