Polymer Clay Rabbit Tutorial
An adorable silver leafed polymer clay bunny inspired by Christi Friesen for the 2013 Friesen Project hosted by KatersAcres, in conjunction with Christi Friesen.
Who knows what day it is? That’s right … it’s Friesen Friday! Bring out the clay, tools, fun, music, & let’s have a virtual clay party! Today’s project is probably one of the easier ones we’ve done all year. You can whip up these cuties in under 20 minutes … even my more elaborate bunny took me just 30 minutes to make! But be sure that you have purchased Christi’s book so that you can see all the steps in full of how to make this cute little guy.

Polymer Clay Squirrel – “What-atorial”
Well …. sometime technology is a real pain in my squirrel tail. I used a “real camera” instead of my iPhone to take your tutorial pictures this week hoping that since we’re now back to “full tutorials” that they would be awesome pics. Somehow my SD card became “corrupted” and I have lost everything on it, save for 4 pictures … of course of the END of the project! ARG! *Insert horrible frustrating sounds here* So … this being said today’s “tutorial” sadly will be more of a non-picture commentary on the project. I cried over this problem this morning, pulled myself together and then took a deep breath. So instead of a tutorial, today you get a “what-atorial” … my code name for “what just happened to my tutorial pictures?” Deep breath …. and moving on …

It’s no secret that for crafters and hobbyists, one of the best places to find tutorials and projects on the internet is Pinterest.

I will attempt to weigh-in on some of the more pressing etiquette concerns facing both users and the people who create material for Pinterest.
