Every month I like to introduce my readers to a new polymer artist. This month is no exception. Today I’m excited to introduce you to Shulamit of ShuliDesigns. Shuli is a member of the PCETeam on Etsy and has gorgeous designs. Thanks for joining us today Shuli!
Last week many of us in the United States did that one thing that reminds you that spring is getting closer … we sprung our clocks ahead. To me and to my family this means one thing: Spring is on its way! In honor of the Spring season, I have collected some gorgeous flower tutorials to help inspire you this season. I have made several of these flowers, but I plan to make many more. (L to R – Top to Bottom)

I love making polymer clay color recipes. In fact, I love them so much that I have a bunch of them right here on the site that you can enjoy, duplicate, and use in your own creations. Feel free to share these with other polymer clay artists. And don’t forget to print them out to keep in your studio too.
Many polymer artists, especially those who are making series or duplicates of items, rely on color recipes to make uniform pieces. For those of you who have been with me for a while now, you know that I rarely use recipes. Why? Because I like that all my pieces are different in color, that I don’t repeat colors, and that nothing I make is ever identical. To me, it adds to the special nature of my sculptures. But I’m not the norm when it comes to polymer artists.

Yes, polymer clay can be an expensive hobby, but it can also be an inexpensive hobby. It depends on how much “creativity” you put into your studio.

This past week I had a guest in my studio. They saw this unique and lovely colored bunch of clay on the back of my work surface and stated, “WOW! How did you get those colors?!” I laughed and said, “It’s scrap clay!” Needless to say, they didn’t believe me. If you haven’t figured it out by now, I love to write about scrap clay and how you can reuse it and do something wonderful with it…so today’s post is all about what I did with my scrap clay and how I got those beautiful colors to make more colorful things.
‘How to make your own color palette’ can sound difficult, right? Well, I am part of a lot of different polymer clay groups on FaceBook. Some I am more active on than others, and some I just lurk. Last week, someone asked how to make a color palette. There were lots of ideas thrown out, many of which were great. Most of my items are made from custom color palettes that coordinate. Making your own palette is easy and the more you do it, the easier it gets. There are lots of ways to make your own color palette, but this is the method that I prefer.

Who doesn’t love tigers? I love them and what better way to show your love of tigers than with a tiger heart.
I was asked by a reader awhile ago if I could do a “mash up” of different polymer clay tutorials from around the web. As I come across tutorials, I tend to tweet them, pin them, or share them on my FaceBook page. One of my readers asked that since I was sharing so many of them, would I mind taking the time to share them with you in a single post here on the blog every once and awhile. So … this is the third time I have done this for you, if you would like to see more of these, comment below. If not … I’ll go back to my normal Tuesday activities!

Week 5 has come & gone and once again, we had two great tutorials to make & try. I have only been doing one of the two tutorials a week due to my time restrictions. But this week was one of my favorite canes, the Stroppel Cane. The second cane for this week was Ronit Golan’s Scrap Cane which I did not do because I used my scrap for Scrappy Heart Pins, Pens, & more. Continue reading 52 Weekly Canes Update: Stroppel Cane
I love introducing new people to you here on my blog. Please know that I am very selective in who gets a showcase opportunity on my blog. For the most part, the artists who are featured here I have developed relationships with over the course of several weeks or months. Ginger is no exception … but yet she is. In a previous post today, I spoke to you about how wonderful Ginger is and gushed over her a little bit. I try not to do this often, as some of my guests find it a tad embarrassing. However, what I want each of my readers to understand is that Ginger truly is a very special person.
