Mother and daughter bonding time : Siaw Shien & Dionne

2011-12-05T21:55:00.000-08:00

I enjoyed teaching the mother-daughter team of Siaw Shien and Deonne. Their quality bonding time was indeed well spent over 2 sessions of 3-hour workshop. Deonne is only 10, but she is a talented girl. She had no problems with this workshop which is actually designed with adults in mind. From the picture, you can see how serious they are when they are beading and their happy faces at the end of the class certainly brighten my day. It was certainly a portait of satisfaction for a job well done.

Beads Feature: Czech Beads

2011-11-22T23:41:00.000-08:00

Czech beads are known for their wonderful craftsmanship. At ViVE Beads, we obtained our beads from the Czech Republic which is well known for the manufacture of high quality glass beads. Czech beads are available in many different shapes, colours, sizes and coatings. They are cost effective yet are of a superior quality suitable for many different types of beading projects. You can also be assured that the colours do not fade over time.

Polymer Clay flowers ~ Using PREMO clay

PREMO Polymer Clay

2011-07-07T04:13:00.000-07:00

CharacteristicsPremo Clay! Sculpey quickly reaches a workable state with minimal conditioning and remains soft and pliable while offering extra resistance without crumbling. Hint: Conditioning of all polymer clays may be facilitated with the use of a pasta machine. Simply cut the block in half and feed each half through the largest setting. Repeat 10 times more and your clay should be conditioned.

It is available in 32 colors, including a lustrous Gold and Silver, and a series of pearlescent colors. Its artists’ color palette is modeled after oil paint colors and designed to make color mixing a snap. Mix Premo! Sculpey with other polymer clay colors, powders or pigments for interesting colors and textural effects.

Sculpting is a joy as it responds to the movements of your hand or tool and holds a sculpted line without "filling in." Jewelry makers will enjoy the ability of Premo! Sculpey to be used in their Millefiori and caning work in canes of 10, 15, and 25-pound sizes or more. Premo! Sculpey canes are best cut with a very sharp blade using a rocking motion. A little practice makes this technique second nature!

And to top it off, creations made from Premo! Sculpey will be around for a long time, because it is formulated to be what we feel is the strongest and most durable polymer clay around. Premo! Sculpey is not brittle after baking. In thicker areas it is hard and rigid and in delicate areas "flexes" to reduce the risk of breakage.

Whether you’re a sculptor or craftsperson, beginner or professional we think you will love the benefits of Premo Sculpey.

CuringPremo! Sculpey should be cured at 275 degrees F (130 C) in a preheated oven for 30 minutes per quarter inch of thickness. DO NOT MICROWAVE. Once cured, the colors intensify and deepen.

UseUse Premo! Sculpey for jewelry, home decor, and sculpture. Dollmakers may mix Translucent Premo! Sculpey with Super Sculpey for increased translucence and strength. Premo! Sculpey is very beneficial used as a "backing," providing greater strength and stability to the item being produced. The lustrous Gold and Silver colors make Premo! Sculpey perfect for jewelry.

StorageSculpey polymer clay products should remain fresh if properly stored in a cool place, away from heat and direct sunlight.

Due to variance in the display of color across different monitor types, color chips may not be an exact match, use for reference only
