WIP Wednesday
in KatersAcres Polymer Clay Studio
WOW! What a busy past few weeks in my studio. I had plenty of tutorials to write for Club Members, lots of playing to do, and even a few challenges to figure out as well. I think I kept myself plenty busy. I’ve separated the above graphic into quadrants so you can better follow along and see what I’m doing.
Quadrant 1 – Top Left
I’m a nut for color and I LOVE to make my own. Many of my custom colors I can not reproduce because I use scraps to make them. (Top – Bottom, Left to Right)- Here’s a few of the colors I worked up over the past few weeks: glittery black for my galaxy dragons.
- This luscious green Skinner blend I used on some leaf canes.
- The color palette here (silver, black, & navy) I used as the base for the color of my shark. Get the tutorial here.
- Oh juicy color! This 5 color coordinating palette is gorgeous and I can’t wait to reveal the finished product to you. Get a FREE tutorial on making your own coordinating color palette here.
- This purple, silver, & black Skinner blend I made for my Andromeda, a galaxy dragon. You can see her here.
- And of course all this yummy color has to be created with a cup of coffee. Right?! Right.

- And this adorable little jointed dragon was made for week 27 of the Polymer Clay Challenge. She will be available this week in my Etsy shop.
