Miniture Polymer Clays

These are a few of the minuture polymer clays that I did. Because they are all dividually handmade, not one is the same.

Polymer Clay Designs

Firstly, for the benefit of new crafters, polymer clay is a sculptable material based on polymer polyvinyl chloride. It usually contains NO clay minerals, and is only called 'clay' because it can be used for similar purposes as natural clay.

For a seasoned crafter, polymer clay is an enjoyable and rewarding craft. A lot of things can be done with polymer clay. You can sculpt or hand-shape the polymer clay into items of any size or for that matter to your own creative imagination. You can also make beads and jewelry such as pendants or earrings. You can even make buttons. You can also make necklace using the 'cane' method.

'Canes' in polymer clay craft terms are actually logs of clay with patterns running through their entire length, from which identical slices can be cut and used in various ways. The patterns created in canes can be simple, complex, or anything in between; they may be pictorial or simply geometric. Picture here shows how a polymer cane looks like. This cane was done by a Linda Weeks.

After the whole sculpt and hand-shape process is done, the polymer clay has to be baked at a certain temperature in the oven. Note: once an oven is used for polymer clay, it can never be used again for food. This is because the chemicals in the polymer clay is harmful when baking.
