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
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
I was asked by a lady in an online group to which I belong, if I would share the technique for my Mokume Gane work which has a thin black outline to define the patterns. I’ve added it below with some more examples in case it’s of use to others, Jane x Continue reading Mokume Gane – Polymer clay tutorial
If mistakes are proof that you are trying, I think I must be trying really hard! The last couple of weeks I’ve made more mistakes with my polymer clay work than ever. I tried using wooden block stamps and loved the result but then got the cutting out all wrong and ended up with lots of scraps (that’s ok I love scraps) I tried using … Continue reading If mistakes are proof that you are trying…
I’ve been working with Mokume Gane for a few months now and am gradually getting a feel for this technique. I’ve had lots of failures and lots of muddy brown lumps of clay but feel like there is a light at the end of the tunnel. There are two basic types of this technique- one where you make impressions in a stack of clay and … Continue reading Polymer Clay – Mokume Gane
Polymer clay is a great medium to work with. There are literally hundreds of tutorials on the internet which will give you inspiration. I love the Mokume Gane method and explain a bit more about it in this earlier blog post. I’ve found using stamps and scraps gives me the freedom to experiment on small pieces of clay. I tend to make ‘veneers’ with scraps … Continue reading Making Artwork from scraps
