I’ve been working with Polymer Clay for a while now. Having done a Lino Printing course a few years ago I decided to experiment and see if I could create my own texture mats. I still had cutters and a range of lino so set about carving some abstract patterns. I love the Mokume Gane technique (lots of posts on here about how to do … Continue reading Using Lino Printing with Polymer Clay
Every so often I have to challenge myself to try something new. I’ve had a gelli plate for a while and done some basic printing but saw an advert on Instagram for an online Gel printers summit with courses by 15 amazing tutors arranged by Drew Steinbrecher. This was such a brilliant idea, one session every day for 2 weeks with access to the videos … Continue reading Gel printers summit 2023 – printing on Fabric
I realised today that I’d not written a blog post for a couple of months and since it’s a wet Saturday in Barnsley I decided to write about using poppy heads as a ‘stamp’ for creating a veneer made using the Mokume Gane technique using Polymer clay. I tried this when I’d just started out using clay and loved the result. However, when you are … Continue reading Polymer and Poppies
Having worked with Polymer Clay for around a year now, I’ve met some incredibly talented and generous people who are always willing to support others. I had a lady message me the other day saying that when she started learning a different craft it was like a ‘secret society’ where people didn’t share. The Polymer Clay community is so different and it feels like there … Continue reading Using Polymer Clay Scraps
Its been a busy few weeks but today is a ‘free day.’ Once I’d done my Team LimbBo admin I decided to have a play! I’m working with some online Instagram friends to put together another free ebook – using scraps in Polymer Clay. I have a large storage box full of scrap clay – I basically throw everything in there for Tommy, LJ and … Continue reading Polymer Clay – trying surface treatments on Scraps
Thank you everyone for your kind comments on my Polymer Clay booklets (see previous posts). I have had some people saying they are still struggling and so I’ve done a really basic outline of how I create my slab ready for shaving. I hope this will work as a guide for you. Any questions just get in touch @janehmokumegane on Instagram. This is a beginners … Continue reading Back to Basics – Mokume Gane Polymer Clay
Hi all, I’m still experimenting with Polymer Clay, especially the technique know as Mokume Gane. I’m really enjoying this process. I’ve made lots of mistakes along the way and Tommy, LJ and Evi have all loved playing with scrap clay and the pasta machine . I’ve put these ideas together as several people were kind enough to say that my previous ebook helped them. I’ve … Continue reading Polymer Clay Mokume Gane Booklet 2
I love working with Polymer Clay and Mokume Gane is my go to technique. However, I found I was creating colours and veneers but couldn’t always remember how I’d made them! (Yes I know – I’m getting old!) Having personally invested in Canva to create graphics for LimbBo, I found that making booklets was an easy way to remember. I’ve put together this booklet to … Continue reading Polymer Clay Mokume Gane Workbook

Its almost a year since I started ‘playing’ with Polymer Clay. I’ve made lots of mistakes but more importantly I’ve made lots of progress and lots of new friends. Like many of us I have ‘Imposter Syndrome’ and often feel my work isn’t good enough to share. As it’s almost the New Year, I decided to be brave and share an e book that I’d … Continue reading E Book – Mokume Gane Polymer Clay
