PolyPalooza at Zephyr Point, Lake Tahoe  

In this demonstration, I  will share what I have learned about impressing texture in polymer clay. Using household objects, rubber stamps, and commercial texture sheets, I will demonstrate ways of applying texture to polymer clay. 

 I will press with my thumbs, feet, pasta machine, and the die cut press 'CuttleBug'.

 If time permits, using acrylic paint, mica powders and liquid polymer clay, I will show techniques to add interest, depth and excitement to the textured clays.

Please note: items marked with a * are things I will have to share with the group
